Dude!

You keep this kind of work up and Phil may just have to hire you.

I grew up drawing and as a thinker. I have a degree in art and design though I haven't worked with drafting in years and years, nor art for that matter as I left the design industry and recently became a certified heavy equipment mechanic. So I pull wrenches instead of create art now, but my background makes it easy for me to mix art and design, then do the work involved. Especially when it comes to modifying the creations of others as I don't have the equipment to create my own from scratch. I have the skills to solder as well, but for some reason I continue to shy away (confidence?) from doing my own installs but definitely believe I have the skill to do it.

I'm only a 15hr drive away from Portland (and a border crossing from Canada to US) lol

All I really need to do is sand it down a bit?

Sanding is usually for small finishing details and what-not. It'll take you a LONG TIME to sand down 1cm worth of material.

I'm asking if all I need is a bit of circumference sanding to make it just a bit less thick at the top.

But I'll do some sanding tomorrow after school. Thanks for the input!

Here in the UK they start about 21p each (42cents Canadian). Could the Covertech part be glued to one of these discs then onto the tubing? For Tyeth

Have you considered using lighting gels (colored sheets used to change the color of studio and photography lights)? I've heard of color disks (like the ones TCSS sells) melting when used with SF's 12w LEDs, but lighting gel sheets can take a lot of heat. You should be able to get some at a photography shop, or even a music store that sells DJ and stage equipment like Guitar Center (not sure if they have those in Canada). I've seen four packs of 9"x 9" gels (in multiple colors) go for around $4 or $5.
