One method for getting a sleeve out of a mast with the "pressure" method could be to apply a relatively thick layer (0.5-1mm) of beewax or similar. Apply the wax first, then do the lamination. When the matrix has hardened, the wax can be melted and the sleeve pulled out. Again, something Phill came up with.
Hey, that is a flippin cool idea <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I think that it will be imposible to make a strong sleeve like that,
How ever if you make a plug with this method and then molds then you can control the strength of the sleev.
This great method came from Phill to make a snuffer ring, but a mast sleeve is not the same as snuffer ring.
