I made a few drip tips in Virgin PTFE. Then I researched the Carbon, & Glass filled PTFE & Rulon

Todd's review vid can be seen on page 2

I don't know what it is about the rulon that is so sweet...It could be that it reminds me of chimneys in suburban housing estates in the early eighties?
 
Another little Rulon LR rod just arrived. To give an example of how difficult it is to source 10mm Rulon rod in retail quantities. I intend to machine the rod below down to drip tip diameter (unless there are any Wide Mouth Frogs on the list :-)

Ooh I do like the clear ones. Are you going to be producing them in the future or were you just tinkering?

That one was just a test to establish how Acrylic machines. Still have more Acrylic so there will be more at some point. But I will need to grind the tools to a razor sharp edge to machine Acrylic.

Just back from PO. Todd's samples are on the way. 1 x PTFE, 1 x Carbon PTFE, 1 x Glass PTFE, 1 x Rulon LR.

I always ensure he gets a sample of my work, as like many, I value his opinion.

If peeps ask him nicely enough, he may explain how each material feels/Texture
