While the marching ants are still around all the letters pull your tube back up,
copy and paste as a new image,you may re-size the tube if it is to large.
After you know you can fit it into at least three different places on the word.

repeat as manytime as you like. . Go to your raster layers and click on
the word to highlight..now invert. Moving up the tube layer one at a time,
highlight and hit your delete key.O ne at a time..after all the extra tube area is gone.
