There's a guy on here that talks about how to do it, Richg99. You take a heat gun or propane torch and heat up the ends of a PVC pipe until it's pliable. Then you'll push the PVC down onto some kind of mold. I've heard a lot of people say the neck of a wine bottle works well. I used the bottom side of an old seat pedestal mount. Just spin the PVC while your work it with the heat gun and it flares out like that. I kept a bucket of water right next to me so as soon as I got the shape right, I could dunk it to set the shape permanently. Also, you don't want to let it get too hot or heat it up too high on the tube. I used schedule 40 PVC (thick-wall) and even the thick pipe would buckle a few inches higher than you'd like.</p></blockquote><p></p>
