snipperz..


to get best "form" when starting a flexible tube toroid,  find something 
that will emmulate the dia you need   be it a pot a bucket etc.   form the 
toroid, join the ends, place the center support with a few pieces of tape 
and wrap a long piece of tape around the outer dia. to "keep" the dia. 
stabilized.  Then remove the center support and start with your tape 
wrapping around the top and then the bottom of the toroid. Once that is 
done then add your center support ( pizza pan what ever) and tape that into 
position...   dont worry about if the support is dead center of the toroid 
interior...  I kinda like the ability to have an "adjustable" height toroid 
by flipping it over .... I  normally  place the center support on 
purpose  above dead center of interior dia. for this reason...
