I used 100% tipspacer in a pair and it worked fine! The old bro-cores that i got from u idris. No hinge effect there. it had a normal shaped tip so i guess its diffeent w long rocker tips. I think its a good way to go if u wanna use tipspacer, it makes it so easy laying up and easier to profile the ...

Before I started profiling with a planer I had the same problem as u. To prevent the core from rising up to the router I ended up with a method that worked for me. I made it in 2 stages, first i shaved off half of it, then i taped it down to the table with double sided tape. this will hold the core ...

vds rubber in tip/tail

Do u guys put vds strips all the way round the edge or just the running length? (if u do a full wrap edge, will say)

I've seen people doin both ways, is there a reason not to put it in the tips or is it just for saving time/material?
