Hi fellow rocketeers, I hope you're doing great out there. I'm having trouble finding different sizes of cardboard tubes to use them as BT but I have found some. The problem comes when, because of the limited variety of diameters, I can't buy cardboard tubes that fit neatly into the BT and serve as a couple. So I started thinking of a solution for that (making my own fiberglass/cardboard tubes isn't in my plans, but if there is an easy method for it, please share it!) and I thought I could make a cut across the cardboard tube and make it fit into the right diameter, then glue it somehow, maybe with wood glue and done.
When searching a bit on the internet for someone that had the same problem as me, I found this video that does exactly the same as I thought but he uses fiberglass to secure it. Do you guys think that step is absolutely necessary or I could go with my main idea of using wood glue, and maybe a piece of thin paper or something similar to act as the fiberglass he used?
Also, if you have any other reliable method for this problem with bodytubes, couplers and diameters, please share it with everyone else! Images of the process are welcomed.
Have a great day,
Alex
