Default hollows

Does anyone have any advice on how to make the walls of a hollow thinner? I use 1.5-2mm stringers and have very little hollow space at the end.

Thanks

I'm sure you'll glean this from the other threads, too, but I make my hollows with thicker walls on hollow tube mandrels that allow me to blow into the interior of the bead and expand it slightly (20-30%). Naturally that thins the walls! Let me know if you want info/details. Hollows are largely PPP. Jeri
