Default Kraut's mousse can pipe

For Kraut's mousse can pipe on the spadtothebone website, he is using a 1" O.D. thin walled aluminum tube. Where would I find aluminum tubing like this? I really want to build a mousse can pipe for my Thunder Tiger .25GP using this method. Thanks.

Fortunately someone threw one of those telescoping light bulb removal poles in our dumpster at work. The outer sleeve is a perfect 1" diameter. I made one from a telescoping clothing rack tube but it was mild steel and quite a bit heavier. I had been eyeing the handle on an old fishing net but then along came the dumpster find.

I've heard (but haven't tried) that the old metel lawn chairs are perfect for this.

I found a shower curtain rod at Wal-Mart to have the 1 inch OD. Well at least the outside section of the 2-part rod. Probably not the most economical but easy to find.

Home Depot has aluminum tubing in1"od. Its 5 or 6 bucks for a 8ft stick. LOTS of mousse can mufflers.
