Go to the hardware store, buy soft copper tube.

Go next door to the toy store, buy some pool floaties.  You know the ones,
they're like neon spagetti, 2" in diameter and 6' long.

Put the copper tube down the middle of the floatie.  Now you can bend it to
any shape you want, and it will stay there.

Once you get the right shape, cover it with 2 plies of bid.  Leave some of
the floatie exposed at one end

Have your lovely and gracious wife hold one end of the fiberglass with a
pair of heavy garden gloves.  Grab the exposed end of the floatie with
vicegrips, and twist and pull.  Since it's polypropoline closed cell, the
epoxy won't bond to it.  It will pull out, leaving you a smooth interior
duct of any shape you want, ultra light weight.
