Hi everyone,
I'm going to be cutting and glassing a cardboard tube. I've heard of the hose clamp and multiple passes of a razor blade - that's the plan for the cut, except I printed a guide (see pic below).
I've heard that to get the cut smooth you should CA the end and then sand. However, I'm planning on glassing this after cutting, so I'm not sure I should put CA down. Should I just laminate it and then worry about sanding it smooth once it's been epoxied? Would help the glass then too...
I searched the forum here, which is where I found the hose lamp and multiple pass with a razor blade technique. Not sure how to fit that in with glassing though.
EDIT: I also bought a hacksaw with a very fine toothed blade, so that's an option as well.
Thanks!
Dustin
