Just take a short piece of braided sleeve, tie off one end with nylon, CF tow or something ... then gently turn the "sock" inside out ... You now have a very leaky carbon fibre condom ... ... Slide over your part .. (this IS getting a bit .... ) work from there.... Good luck ... "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW! The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind... 103% of all people do not understand statistics... Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-) Tags Braided sleeve tie off Edited 12 Years Ago by Dravis
