Moving forward with the 18 conversion. Picked up a 29'6" stick for the tiger main. It has some pretty serious corrosion at the diamond attachment. Pinky size holes. Can that be repaired? If so, how? Read a blog about making a carbon outer sleeve, doesn't carbon react with aluminum? Can cut a standard 18 mast 1.5' taller and install a comptip but worried about the mast twisting with the square head. Also will be running a spin.
