I'm getting close to being done with rod so I figured I need to make a custom tube to match the rod so I just finished up this tube. It's made with 2" sch40 PVC, has a half rounded end cap cemented to one end and a threaded collar on the other. Sanded it down with some 300 grit paper then hit it with 3 coats of fusion. Made some decals on my Alps printer and then clear two coats of clear over the whole tube. Also made a retainer for the screw in cap so it doesn't get lost.
