Thank you

Yes many have said that. It does work and look good as well as a good idea. I was going to do that as well but was too lazy and tired the day I installed on my trailer and U-Bolts to go get it. 😂 But yes next time I will use heat shrink.

No problem sir. I appreciate the comment and that you like it.

No problem. Glad I could help

Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for the tip & no problem. I am glad you liked it

No problem. That is what I am here for👍

No problem. It was a good idea. Need to start thinking differently with KZfaq. Thank you.

Thank you sir. I am trying to do my best at this KZfaq thing. I appreciate the support.

Thank you sir. I never quit fishing Mack. I go out in the freezing cold. It is tough sometimes, but if there is no ice I am out there. I hope you and the family have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year. Talk soon.

Thank you

Awesome brother. You will like it.

Thank you . I appreciate it

Thank you! It would look really cool!

That is a good idea as well. So far I have had no problems with the tube moving around on the trailer. Over 5k miles and still holding out good with just the tape. If I start having problems I will take off and use the plastic dip stuff. Thank you.

Need to try to find some jobsite and ask if you can have a piece. That is what I did.

Take what you can and bring it home. Sell on the black market. Lol. Yea everything is expensive as anything. But we all get paid the same

Thank you for the tip. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I try to stay clean. It’s hard sometimes. Mind always goes there…..Lol.

It would but I had electrical tape for free.

The video shows you how to do the pattern. The tube is on one of my trailers. You need to watch the tube video and my trailer videos. They are all uploaded

I use rod and real covers from Rod Pro-Tech between my tube and Yakima box. They are a one piece cover that goes on and off easily. No problems and full protection.

Cool I didn’t know they had aluminum to PVC glue. I will have to look it up if I ever do another tube in the future.

The paint has primer built. No primer needed. No sanding needed. The paint melts/bond to pipe. All materials used are in the description and I also go over cost in video. I think it runs around $220-320 depending on where live. If you can find pipe like I did it will be about $120. As far as design you can do whatever you want.

@@rjmfishtales thanks

All links for items in the description for everything used

Maybe 1. Or 1 & 1/2. I know definitely no more than 2 cans. It didn’t take much to cover the tube.

Just soap and some water. Just make sure the dirt is off or. The Krylon spray paint adheres to PVC very well. Almost melts to it. Just make sure you let it cure for a good week to be safe. It’s been holding up good so far.

WOW, Thank you for the QUICK response!!

@@LQQKOUT12 no problem. That is why I started channel. To help others.

1 - 1/2 cans. It covers very well. So not much at all.

You can fit up to 12 rod and reels but need to offset front and back. The conduit itself you need to go to a plumbing supply house to get 8 inch or bigger.

The caps are aluminum so won’t bond. You can probably use JB weld or something but there is too much play in the caps. Only other way is if you just use a good silicone like I did and that will hold them on for sure. The rivets give me a better feeling of security. You can use pvc cap on one side and glue it. If you just need the tube for transporting and not leaving anything in there you can just use the pvc sewer cap on the other side and just unscrew it. There is many ways to do this, but to get the brackets and the price as a kit you might as well use the aluminum caps.

No sir. Just clean it good with soap and water. Let it dry. That paint adheres to it very well. I have had no issues to date with paint coming off. Trailer has over 5k miles and lots of bugs and rocks flying at the tube on the highway. But if you want to do a light sanding I am sure it does not hurt. Just make sure the tube is dirt and dust free before applying. Hope yours turns out awesome!

It’s in the description of the video.

@rjmfishtales thank you. I found it. Awesome videos keep up the great work

No problem and thanks. I appreciate it

I made it 8 foot as I don’t have any rods longer than 7’6” and never will. 2 foot less of 8 inch pipe saves a lot of weight as it is not light.

I notice on Amazon the end caps appear not drilled for the rivets you installed to hold the end caps on. Or are they already drilled to accept the rivets?

@bbqbandit3453 no sir. I drilled through the aluminum end caps where I wanted to install rivets. They let you use you own hardware or install how you want. You can use a decent amount of good silicone to, you can say “glue” them on as well. And wipe off the extra silicone and let it set up for a few days. Silicone will hold just fine and you won’t be able to take as well. I just over do everything

Maybe one day.
