Hi All


What is everyone using to block the ends of the tubes before gluing please?


I always use potato but it's messy and the Araldite epoxy is, I'm sure, soaking through the potato !!!


Someone in this topic uses wax, what sort is that? Soft, hard..? and I've heard of people using

dental impression putty but it looks very expensive...


So.....any suggestions please, gratefully received.....


Best wishes - Jim
