6" AND 7.5" NOW ARE NOW IN MICROSEAM PHENOLIC
- We'll CUT your tubes!
- Compatible with PML and LOC nosecones.
Why is NONBRITTLE PHENOLIC better?
Nonbrittle phenolic is strong, like the old standard phenolic
But nonbrittle phenolic is much less prone to crack or shatter. Unlike
paper tubes, it wont easily crimp or buckle.
Unlike plastics, will readily absorb CAs and epoxies.
The solution....
4 foot long tubes for 3" & 3.9 " diameter! Like all our bodytubes, these long tubes are nonbrittle phenolic -- like the old standard phenolic -- but less prone to crack, chip or shatter, and unlike paper, don't easily crimp or buckle. Check 'em out below!

WHAT IS MICROSEAM?
Microseam Phenolic, or "Microseam"
for short, is a new type of
airframe in which the spiral grooves are nearly eliminated. Tubes
with Microseam have an entirely new outer layer that eliminates
the tedium of filling grooves with putty.
How do I finish Microseam tubes?
Thats the great news. Because the
grooves are nearly eliminated, two or three heavy coats of
"Spot Putty Primer" are usually all that is required. This is an extra thick
primer available from Walmart and most auto supply stores. Sand in-between
coats and then paint as desired.
MICROSEAM......NO MORE GROOVES TO FILL!!!!
- Connect sections of airframe tubing
- Make internal compartments
- Beef up airframe walls
- Comes in short & full length!

I ordered from y'all not long ago, and let me say that your products are
just as beefy as they get! Thanks for the custom cutting too. You
don't run
into many rocket companies that do this good of a job at such a low price.
I'll defiantly be ordering in the future!

Finally, an easy way to fiberglass your bodytube! The EASYGLAS SOCK is a stretchy sleeve that fits over your airframe to make fiberglassing a breeze. Traditional fiberglassing methods are tricky, and involve wrapping cloth around a tube. The downside of this old approach is that it's time consuming, really messy, frustrating and, worst of all, leaves an overlap ridge that has to be sanded down. In short, it's a royal pain!
Finally there's an easy way to glass your tube - - with the EASYGLAS SOCK.
The EASYGLAS SOCK is not fiberglass, but is made of a material that readily absorbs resin and adds structural strength. We've tried it and it works beautifully. Best of all, it finishes easily. The EASYGLAS SOCK is about as
thick as 3 or 4 oz fiberglass cloth. Here's the simple procedure:
- Slide EASYGLAS SOCK over dry airframe and tie the loose ends with twist-ties.
- Mix your resin, and apply thoroughly over the EASYGLAS SOCK. Squeegy excess material and rotate tube occasionally while resin cures.
- Once cured, lightly cut down high spots with sandpaper, then prime with several coats of extra thick filler primer (available at department stores). Be sure to sand between coats of primer.
That's it!! Trim the ends and you're ready to paint!
Finally...lamination for the rest of us!!
For additional strength KEVLAR® sock (below) can be used underneath the EASYGLAS SOCK.
$1.48 per foot EASYGLAS small diameter
for 4" airframes only. (order 1.5 times length of airframe)
$1.80 per foot EASYGLAS large diameter
for 5.5" to 6.0" airframes. (order twice length of airframe).
$2.12 per foot EASYGLAS EXTRA large diameter
for 7.5" airframes and larger. (order twice length of airframe).

The EASYGLAS SOCK is easy to slide on.
|
The EASYGLAS SOCK has no overlap ridges to sand,
and tightly hugs the tube so there's no need for vacuum bagging. It doesn't get any easier.

Gabriel Balik uses easyglas. It's easy!!

Dave Rose puts the Kevlar Sock
onto a 6" and 7.5" diameter airframe.
He used a nosecone to taper
on the sock. He then wet it
out with fiberglass.

A new stretchable KEVLAR® sleeve made of 100% pure Aramid KEVLAR® that slides
onto your airframe.
Laminating your tube is rewarding. But while fiberglass is easy to work with,
KEVLAR® cloth is costly and tricky. NOT ANY MORE! Now reinforcing your tube in
KEVLAR® is like putting on your socks. Just slide the AIRFRAME SOCK of KEVLAR® on the tube.
Because its stretchable - - like your socks - - it conforms to the tube and
compresses down to hold in place (vacuum bagging optional but not necessary).
And since theres no seam overlap, theres no bump to sand. Because KEVLAR®
cant be finish sanded, youll still need to cover the AIRFRAME SOCK of KEVLAR® in a thin
layer of glass. The AIRFRAME SOCK of KEVLAR® stretches to fit tubes from 3 to 6 diameter.
It adds between 1/64 and 1/32 to wall thickness.
AIRFRAME SOCK of KEVLAR® $3.51 / FT. (order 1.5 times the length of the tube for up to 4 in
diameter, and 2.0 times the length for 6. E.g., for a 3 diameter tube four
feet long, allow six feet of sock. For a 6 tube that is 4 feet long, allow
eight feet of sock).

Just received the fiberglass cloth. Thanks again. It's very nice stuff. I
also liked the looks of that kevlar sock ...Keep up the good work,
