Roller tip question

It seems a size 11 or 11/64 roller tip is hard to find. Can I use masking tape to build up to size 12 ? or better to sand tip to fit size 10 ? Is the hi temp glue the desired medium for roller tips or something different? Thanks. Joe Re: Roller tip question

Neither. Never sand a tip to fit a top (very large and thick walled offshore blanks can be sanded/tapered over the upper half of where they will fit into the tip as most roller guides are tapered more drastically than most rod blanks).
Masking tape is a no-no on tiptops. Instead, build a thread wrap bushing to take up any space as required. Use 5-minute epoxy for installation. ............... Re: Roller tip question

Try Utmost to the left for an Alps tip top. Re: Roller tip question

Bit spendy, but it comes in an 11/64 tube, and it looks sweet:
