I've never made one but you could probably use polyester or epoxy resin for a take down sleeve.

Check out Big Jim's website.  He has kits and is working on a how-to video.

Some of the video is already posted on my site. We have had a little trouble with parts and are currently working to get it posted.

email todd smith at  www.toddsmithco.com (http://www.toddsmithco.com)  he might have the DVD by Jack Harrison that shows the whole process.  I've seen it before and it covers all of the steps very well.  Todd is a sponsor here and a pretty good all around feller.  dino

You might try on the bowyers forum also. Possibly some more responses over there.
