not too hard ducksterman.

the longest was for a two piece 9' fly rod. Of course you must glue and cure one end at a time. after the one end is cured you can pull the matt very snug and glue the other end.

there may be even better material than the rubberized matt cloth that i've discovered.

I like the abs tubes, they make decent walking staffs when hiking to remote fishing sites.
