Anyone out there ever attempted to flock a carbon tube SCT? It looks like a pretty daunting task, lots of opportunities to mess up the optics. Any thoughts?

Vince, my friend Jay Emirzian did that on his 9.25 SCT, but I'm not 100% sure if it was a carbon fiber tube or not...
He actually did a review on the whole process, and posted it in the "reviews section" here on Astromart...
Here, I found the link to it for you...

Hi Vincent,
Truthfully the article I wrote looks a lot harder then it really is. If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to help you though the process. My scope wasn't carbon fiber tube, but that really doesn't make a difference. The flocking material will stick regardless. Call me if you'd like to talk about it.
