Time ago I did any composite tube trials.
The problem is that before applying vcuum, you have a certain thickness and outer diameter without any wrinkle. OK. BUT when applying vacuum and consolidating the cloths, the thickness and so the outer diameter, will decrease. Then you´ll have a cloth excess that under vacuum will end creating a wrinkle.
This will be worst when more plyes compacted.
Lately I've done a few tubes with shrink tape with nice results. Easy, cheap and flexible process for a "not highly stressed part".
