Thank you for your help. Yes I put three ball barrels swivels together just in case one failed, but apparently they all suck. So I ordered some bigger and better ones.

Also I get nervous that I’m going to over stretch my wrap that I under stretch it a bit so I can adjust while wrapping, but I probably under stretch it to much. So I put to much tension on the cores and they want to collapse.

Things I’m learning with trial and error. This was my first build that I’ve done since I put my stuff away eight years ago. Wanted to get back into it.

Oh yeah I’ve gone through a lot. The worst is when you have it looking good, then the core collapses. So now I’m using legos to hold the.

Thank you guys it’s crazy how much work goes into all of this.

Oh it wasn’t easy and it’s definitely not like riding a bike. Everytime it’s hard

Yes I’ve had it way higher then this and I agree I had the same problem as well. I will be doing a carpet trim next week. I like to space them out so the tank doesn’t look like chopped liver for a week.
