Step 3:

Next I glued a layer of tissue paper on the inside of the tube using thin CA. I found the easiest way to do this was to cut manageable sections of the tissue paper and then get it situated and laying flat inside the tube over the damage area. Then I ran a drop of the CA down the tube along one edge of the paper. If I was satisfied with the alignment I used a piece of small dowel to wipe away the excess glue. As soon as the glue was dry I lifted the portion of the tissue paper that was not yet glued down and ran some CA under it, then laid the tissue paper down and eliminated any bubbles under the paper. Depending on the size of the damage area it may take two or more sections of paper installed in this manner to do the repair. It's hard to see the tissue paper repair in my photo because it essentially turned clear with the CA under it (I used white paper).
