Re: Proven Design



Yes, 3" PVC (3.5 actual OD). I have red glyptal to paint the core with 
after the lenth is decided on and the core is prepped.  Made a jig for 
winding per the instructions in your coildbuild guide.  Right now I am 
looking for thicker poly to start rolling caps with.

Thank you for responding.
