    I forgot to mention re the Epoxy
    Acetone clean all the parts prior to final epoxy fitting

    Mix about 3 or 4 table spoons worth of it to get it well mixed and accurate.
    Put plenty on as the liner goes in.
    Stick a clean pots under the barrel ( horizontal in vice with leather padding ! ) at both ends to catch the drips.

    But when all done you will have only used about one teaspoon actually of the 4 tablespoons.
    If you have done your job properly there was only a tiny space for the epoxy to stay in.

    Bring it inside to a nice warm place and leave it for the prescribed curing time plus another day.
    Also bring a small sample in with the barrel of your left over epoxy mix. It's just reassuring to see that it hardens correctly as well.

    If you muck up the mix ... i don't know what you are going to do
