I put a bit of masking tape inside the top of the cardboard tube while painting, to avoid getting paint on the inside "lip", which could interfere with the nose cone. When I pulled it off it took parts of the carboard tube with it. Now the cardboard surface on the inside is a bit "rough" or "burred". I'm worried about two things:
Is there a way to reinforce the cardboard just a bit? Could I e.g. brush on some sanding sealer and then sand it down to close the fibers? I have some epoxy that I can brush on the surface but the 30 minute kind I have is still a bit "flexible' when it cures so it wouldn't feel like a hard "laminated" surface. I'd rather not buy a whole new epoxy set just to fix this.
- The nose cone is now way too lose. I could probably fix this with tape on the nose cone.
- Since the inside tube cardboard is now less smooth I'm worried it will peel more or degrade more quickly.
