Bob, that is a real trick process there bud. I usually wax up an aluminum tube really well then glass it and cure at 180 degrees or so. This cures it with the tube slightly expanded. When its time to remove the tube I put it in the freezer to contract the aluminum tube. Even with all that it's a fight to get the two separated.
