Good to know and that you got it with W2 and are pleased. I wish it was still offered in other colors, but Hank is down to black and said that’s it for the remainder of production.
Chatted with a guy over on Reddit (Hank’s sub) and a couple of cool ideas. First, get o-rings and put them in the grooves. 3/4” ID, 15/16” OD. Creates a good barrier to cut down on the abrasiveness. You can also use heat shrink tubing (about 1.5” diameter), either alone or over the o-rings.
I’ve not tried an SFT40 yet, although some pics I’ve seen they do look a bit blue. The W2 I like in other hosts and the tint has always been very white rather than coloured if you know what I mean.
