I will do the tapering advice ASAP because I need to enlarge my mold's inflation neck anyway. No I don't work for Argonaut - I sent them an email the other day actually, small world, haha.

Ah Ok i watch argonaut with interest ,its interesting to i see them learning the processes as they go along ,its been fascinating to watch the smaller guys ask the questions then implement their interpretation of them, i wondered if you were an employee I have cad files of several big box frames that show this and in the past few weeks have had a fair few folks ask how they do the bladders and air inlets do you go on velocipede salon at all?
