tip:

When trimming extension
tubes, 

ALWAYS MEASURE AND
START FROM THE WIDE
END WHERE TUBE
DIAMETER = 14”.

When extension tube is
sized correctly, remove
backing paper from 
adhesive strip on edge 
of extension tube. 
Beginning at one end of
the extension tube, over-
lap the edges of the tube,
aligning the edge of the
tube along the crimp in
the other edge.

(Once contact is made
with adhesive strip, parts
cannot be repositioned.)
