After my buddy gave me a pep talk I decided to try again. Just ordered the High Temp Epoxy Resin (expensive), and some carbon fiber sleeves. I'll do a 3-4 layers of fiberglass then finish it with 2 layers of carbon fiber. Hopefully I'm not just throwing away money. The original DIY was just under $200 for the tubing parts including the plugs and this next one will be around $300 for tubing parts. The filters were $230.
I'll say that making this stuff takes a lot of time and is expensive. Starting to understand why commercial ones are so pricey...good thing I like DIYs
