Just wondering is there a problem if I put a 10.0 tip top on a size 9.0? The ring size are the same yet the diameter is a little diffrent on the tube. Re: Tip top sizing

I believe the hot melt adhesive can accommodate that difference, but ideally one would put some wrap on the tip to make it fit better. Re: Tip top sizing

When I have done this using thread to fill the gap, I leave large gaps between the thread so that the adhesive can also adhere to the blank itself and not all onto the thread. Re: Tip top sizing

Mel,
I also use thread to fill the gap. However, I leave no gaps between the thread. I have never had any issues with the tips coming off of the blank. Depending on the difference, I will use as many layers of thread wraps as are necessary to fill the gap nicely. Be safe Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
