I took the mandrel out tonight and gave the tube my first coat of epoxy without laminating more carbon. The tube is very strong, it took my weight over the middle without warping. It is also exceedingly light, i didnt get a chance to weigh it but it was gripable with one finger and my thumb comfortably.
I will coat the outside with around 4-5 layers of epoxy before I wet'n'dry it and put a poly urathane varnish over it. I have ordered my other parts from Orion Optics, very excited with how its going at the moment.
