Here you can see both stuffing tubes are now 'glassed in place using West Systems epoxy and 4 layers of 1/2 ounce cloth. I prefer to use the lighter cloth with multiple layers as it form fits the area much nicer and if done properly I have found it will actually yield a stronger bond than one or two layers of a heavier weave. Also note up front the square pieces in place that seal and secure to front of the tubes. Both tubes are right up to the collets and will be cut back later.
