Hi, John....no, I had not yet seen that one. I use
the long, skinny baloons like the clowns use to make animals with. Wrap it in
cloth, slop on the 30 minute epoxy, then pop the baloon. It was easier to
glass the baloon elephant than the baloon octopus, however. Paul
Conner (yes I am kidding).

Did you see
Richard Sohn's trick for making a fiberglass tube at Shady Bend? Basically you
overfill a section of an inner tube with sand. Once filled you can bend and
shape it. Glass it. Remove the sand. Peel out the inner tube. Bingo. A
perfectly smooth fiberglass duct of the correct dimensions and shape. Might
take a bit of practice for the "fiberglass challenged" amongst us (mentioning
no names) but it works very well once you get the hang of
it.
