Well I think that I am nearly there unless someone tells me what else I need. The resin has arrived and I have managed to get the mould out of the former(Still needs to be left to fully cure), taken the main block out and using the frame as a support the loose end can either be held with a clamp or even screws. And lastly turned some bungs for the end of the tubes.

I don't use bungs in my tubes and I would suggest you put a piece of plastic bag over the bung before you insert them, it will be easier to get them out.

I intend to, I have a box of disposable gloves which I will be using for that purpose. At the moment just getting everything ready and together as you know nothing worse than starting something only to find you have not ordered it or it is out of reach when you need it most:funny::funny::funny: and yes I have done it in the past try holding something together that you have just spent ages assembling to find you have not got one or even worse left the clamp in the cupboard out of reach.:funny:

I went with White, Black, Red, Yellow and Blue pack, one as it gets started with a selction and two you can make pretty much any colour with that combination. I will expand this with different effects to jazz them up once I get the hang with the basics. There could be lots of questions.

I will take a photo of my stand for tubes it negates the use of bungs.
