Finaly got my tarp diped in silicone calking and paint thinner.  Turned out great. For poles thinking old carbon fiber golf club shaft . Or I have carbon arrows . Any other ideas

Nice, post a few pictures so we can see the results.

What mix did you use, 4 to 1?  How much weight did the treatment add?

It's hard to beat these for the price...

I bought a set for my Golite Shangri La, and with a few inches of trimming on them, they're perfect, and really light yet stiff.  They break down short enough to fit in a frame bag also.  There are two options for pole lengths.  45" with a 32", or a 42" with a 24"...  Also added some nice wide and blunt Trekking pole ends to the ground end, which prevents them from digging in to the dirt throughout the night.

Another pole option.

You can build a set (45" front, 27" rear) with end caps for around $15 which will weigh under 4oz.
