Default Guidance needed on how to make sleeves/sockets for CF wing tubes

Im looking for guidance how to make fibreglass sleeves or sockets for present CF and aluminum wing tubes on hand. I have on hand 1/2" x 24" CF and 3/4"x 16-3/4" aluminum wing tubes on which I need sleeves made. I know bit about the process and in past I tried to make my test sleeves but failed when tube couldn't break loose from the socket. I also had wax paper and also waxed the main tube b4 laying up the test tube yet it failed to come out of the sleeve. What should I do to make sleeves prevent from sticking to the tubes at the resin curing time....
