Just realize that PVC, a vinyl compound, isn't totally inert in terms of outgassing, so should not remain with the paper roll during storage.
I get the problem of the balancing act and also the issue of trying to shift the sky away from cyan
Cyan skies on Ektar are a characteristic symptom of having overexposed it.

I've read that a lot, and on occasion I have mistakenly overexposed a frame by several stops which indeed gave a very cyan sky. However, like I said earlier: skies sometimes really tend towards cyan. Perhaps more than you realize?
suffers in blue and purple response due to the shouldering off of the blue curve before the other two curves. So green starts to take over and trend the blues to cyan. Only correct color-temp filtration at the time of the shot itself can easily correct this, and only to a certain degree.
PVC pipe will work just fine for that I think. From experience I can say that it really helps to have a spindle that is not too small. I'm using one that really is too small (just because I had it lying around anyway) and it prevents the roll from rolling off smoothly. It works, but it's not ideal. A proper spindle on a proper axle would be nicer.
I'll try to remember to save the spindle of the current roll I'm on which will probably be finished over the next few weeks or so. I can then give a measurement. 3" sounds about right though.
I actually made this for paper drums. I’m thinking of using it to rest the roll on for cutting? I have a 40in roll of endura to cut. As long as the wheels are clean this shouldn’t affect the paper?? It can easy do 30inch roll. I tested its at it rolls superbly! It actually rolls significantly easier than a central rod through the inner tube, just glides
Anybody with a roll of fuji paper or with knowledge of fuji paper know the opening size in the core?
