well that was easy for me, the guy from soller who I dealt with asked if I would mind if the fabric was folded in the packaging tube or not. Because the total length of my tube is around 850mm the end of the fabric will be trimmed anyway any imperfections in the cloth will not matter. I will have a good look tonight but it does not look like folding the cloth damages it. The carbon sleeves that I bought were 6 foot long and thus were folded into a tight package, this does not seem to have affected the carbon in anyway the fact is with that there is no other way of packing it.
I am especially impressed with the carbon sleeving, I will let you know how I go when I have to use it which way is easyer, but at the moment I am betting on the sleeving. It is very stretchy but it dosent stretch, weird i know but what it reminded me of is a giant cable sock (the kind that get tighter when you pull it) the fibers spread out and contract like its stretching. This gives it versatility because I bought 8 inch sleeving because it was the closest size that will fit over the mold, at 8 inches it would be too loose but if you just compact the fibers a little the diameter shrinks and it will be snug.
