I have been using PVC tubing going on 10 years now to display our banner at the shows. Trust me when I say it's better to have a tight fit and be a pain to take apart than have any slop at all....don't ask me how I came to know this.
Also, It was good seeing CM, Kelly, Robby, and meeting his better half Annette. It's always good shooting the bull with you guys.
And you as well sir....
