Hi,
My DIY dobsonian has a metal tube that needs some sort of protection on the ends, some sort of plastic strip I'm thinking, that slips/wraps over the edge?
The sketch gives an idea of what I'm looking for.
I've used gaffer tape up until now but it doesn't look too flash.
I really would like to get something a bit better.
Searching on the net I can see car door protector strip, but it's a bit 'chunky' and I don't know how it would go around a curve?
I calculate that I need maybe 2.25 meters in length to do both ends, maybe about 20mm deep. To fit over metal that is 1mm thick.
Does anyone have a source for such a thing? Or maybe you have a better idea altogether?
Thanks
Chris
