I need to make some carbon tube and suspect i need to make a mandrel in the lathe to lay the carbon over, what would be the best material for the mandrel ? i have some nylon and alloy bar, would i have any release issues ?

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks for the great tips, i tried using an alloy bar with reasonable results but will try some of the other methods next time.
