In Step 12 the two lengths of tube are joined with a coupler.
1/2 of the coupler is glued into the lower tube.
Before the glue in the lower tube dried, the upper tube was slid in place, no glue on the upper half yet.
The tube was rolled on a smooth counter top then double checked for the best fit fit all the way around the joint.
I ended up turning the upper tube until I found the best match.
A pencil mark on both tubes would insure the best alignment and seam fit.

Even with the rolling, alignment and pencil marks, a prominent seam was still there.
My first CWF fill was brushed on and the excess wiped off close to the seam.
After sanding, more CWF was applied in a wider band.
