Jim don't worry about getting the end caps I turned my own plugs sort of tapered for the larger tubes, on the 22m od wine corks will work great I have used mine hundreds a times over the 500mm tubes is what I use cut them slightly over sized Jim to allow for the cork and trimming the blanks after the have cured.

This is a 25mm blank I made Jim within the 25mm ali tubes (my Guinness Effect) and the one at the bottom is my black and gold - the gold being Pearl-Ex powder.




Don't get the end caps Jim you won't need them -cheeper to buy wine corks or save them for the 25mm just turn your own plugs Jim
