I would use the chicken wire,what I use is 20 gauge wire with 1 inch hole.I wrap the tube by rolling the wire around the tube completely 2 times.Take pliers,and bend the cut edge of the wire back under the inner wire wrap and secure it that way,no need to drill.You can go around the tube tightening the wire by bending with pliers,just grab a section of wire and turn your wrist.Your wire can be loose but you do not want it to move on the tube.Have fun!After you get the tube covered with mortar make some reference lines and start sculpting,
