RE: dip tubes
Dont use PVC and Lacquers..the lacquer is to harsh and will sooner or later eat thru it. PVC is just fine for the poly.
Its always a good idea to get extra gaskets as they do sometimes rip.
Make sure you get the full length dip tub if you plan on doing the whole shaft.
The smaller ones are for doing crown dipping, but you probably knew that!
