Nancy,
In the past I have seen 'SONO' tubes used to good effect for this purpose. These tubes are sold by concrete supply places and by larger builder's supply houses. They are the very stiff, brown cardboard tubes with a somewhat waxy finish used to form concrete pillars in foundation work. They work best if covered with something like Marvelseal, or even aluminum foil. They are available in a huge range of diameters, up to 3-4 feet across, and can be cut to length as needed on a circular saw. (Often the builder's yard will do this for you.) I seem to remember from ordering them in California, that they are available as standard length up to 12 feet long, but that longer lengths have to be special ordered.

tubes? I thought one of the suppliers offered them but can't find the source. Thanks, Nancy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com |
