out of round MHX blank build resolution

Just a update to the forum on the out of round MHX blank i had. I went ahead and built the blank and it turned out to cast very well ,with no worries . Worked great......Made a very light and sensitive rod... I guess I made a bigger deal about it being out of round, than it actually was...As i examined the blank further I found that the only part of the blank out of round was the grip area.. I have yet have a blank come back because the customer was disappointed in the rods performance or feel

Why did you not just send it back for a replacement?

The reason I didn't send it back was because as I examined the blank further, I found that the out of round portion was only on the bottom 18 inchsonly . The rest of the blank was as round as a 16 penny nail. To date I've built 22 MHX blanks and all been great
