You want to take a negative mould from a 295mm cardboard tube, wich you want to cover with glass fibre until it's 300mm diameter, right? To finally make a carbon tube, right. I would not use an enlarged cardboard tube, but a tube, wich you can get a better hardware stores for cheap money instead. Because it is plastic and hard to polish up nicely, I would instead take the mould from the raw tube, and sand and polish the mould afterwards. Because the surface is already quite good, that would not take long, and the should be no danger to sand through the tooling coat. In the end you will safe much money and even more time. And you'll get a a better finish.
