excellent adcice.  simon nathan
Tape works fine. I found it easier to take 2 120 spools, cut the ends off
each one, bring them to a hardware store that has hobbyist brass tube
stock, find the right size brass tube for the 120 spool to fit it, and cut
it to size. use a piece of wood as a jig to fit between the two ends of the
spools, so the spool ends are all the same distance apart. Mine have slots
cut in them so the tube fit in it. I put the wood in place and clamp and
glue for each spool. Use epoxy, as the spool material is polystyrene, and
doesn't stick well or disolves with various other glues. Jamie
