Evening Gents and Ladies too,
Have a quick question for ya. I have been doing some carbon handles and pretty much winging it. Do any of you have a specific size that you make your cores prior to skinning? For instance how many cm or inches do you make the diameter to match to a 16 or 17 mm ecsm? thanks, Tom Re: foam cores

Thomas;
Take the measurement of the final size you want. Then take a micrometer and measure the thickness of the carbon cloth you are using. Then double that dimension. Subtract that from the final size, And make your core that measurement. Re: foam cores

The step by step guide on the Riley Rods website says, 0.5mm. I make fly grips so I haven't tried this.

I wish. My wife has had major back surgery and I've been to caring for her, so I’ve not made a single event this year.
Last time I was on the water was Dec.5, hopefully she will be able to care for herself in the next couple of weeks or so, and I can get back out there. But thank you forthe well wishes! Have a lot of catching up to do. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/10/2010 07:45PM by Steve Gardner. Re: foam cores

the final diameter depends on the type of sleeving used as well as your finishing method. I have found maybe one mm or slightly less is the norm for me. you will have to see for yourself and your method. Re: foam cores
