Best head tube joint yet

 
After trying and trying to get the perfect bleeder material that stretches just right, and absorbs enough epoxy, but not too much, doesn't leave any air bubbles etc, I think that I have finally got a combination that works. It involved some home-made release fabric and a needle and thread. Oh yeah and a vacuum bag, and a heater and an old air conditioner compressor, and a light switch and some air hose...

It's been a long battle, but I may just have found my solution. With a little sanding I expect this to be an attractive and strong joint if ever there was one. Head tubes are easy though. Next is the Bottom Bracket. Not so simple.
