Hi Andy

I've looked up that resistor type and it has a bulge at each end and is 'thinner'. Also I would need to paint it and I could not use the 'spin it' method without taking much care in the chuck. With the current method the painting is easy. To be honest I have actually looked for an equivalent!

The big drawback with the curent method is that the sealing of the end caps is going to be messy and slow. Also the filler hardens and goes unworkable very quickly which means many 'small' batches. I'm currently seeing how little hardener is required for slow setting!

Cheers
James
