I have had a few delays with this project:
Disaster with the first attempt to glue the cloth onto the tube
. The glue I was using, the baked enamel finish and the first coat of Estapol did not agree (bubbled terribly) so I had to strip the cloth off and do what I should have done in the first place. Strip the tube back to bare metal and start again
. Fortunately I had purchased spare cloth so I had enough for a second attempt. I have used "Weldbond" glue this time which seems to have worked OK.
Photos attached.
Cheers,
