when rolling tubes with the shown method be careful, some aluminum or metal tubes will actually leave oxidation on your paper which depending on the thickness of the paper can discolor it.
I have a selection of hardwood rods (dowels) with different diameters that I use, they never leave oxidation. |

Used these tools/methods many times making tiny paper escape rocket nozzles for various flying model rockets (mostly by Dr. Zooch Rockets). Later! OL J R

Some pics...
I use some "modified" surgical hemostats as clamps for holding paper components (like rocket nozzles) held during gluing... keep them from "springing apart" and flattening out or "slipping" (the seam spreading and the resulting cone being the wrong angle) before the glue finally sets up and holds fast... Plus, the hemostats exert pressure on the joint and make it thinner than it would otherwise be. A little finessing when the part is done by putting the part over an appropriately sized/shaped pencil or pen tip or old mechanical pencil or a bamboo skewer or whatever, and then gently rubbing the glue joint area with the side of a pen, knitting needle, or even knife handle (be careful of deposits as someone else mentioned) and the seam will 'relax' a bit and round out very nicely. I modified the hemostat jaws by grinding or filing the serrations out of the jaws, so they are SMOOTH instead of grooved... I had a shop grinder so a few careful passes across the grinding stone too them right off down to smooth, shiny metal. One could also use a dremel tool or even a hand file to do this work if one doesn't have the power tools available... Some pics of the results... OL J R

There’s an endless supply of different instruments that can be used. The builder will eventually settle on their favorites which work best for them.
The wood dowels are inexpesiv and easy to obtain, however I don’t car for them myself. This was a basic tutorial to help someone get started with rolling tubes and cones and his results were excellent.

At least until they find their new favorite.
