what do you do to keep tubing from going haywire ..

Post by XxDigitalDolliexX » Fri Nov 21, 2008 1:45 am

I have a ton of corrugated tubing wrapped in a circle . I dont like that its all curled up when I put it in .

Also I have plastic tubing and sometimes if not stored straight it gets all bent a funny.

Does anyone here have any techniques to keeping it night a straight without curls or kinks

I first cut all the pieces I'm going to use to the right size, then tie them all up with a hair tie on the end, then hold it up and pour boiling water down it. The weight of the water keeps it straight. I follow by pouring cold water over it, or if it isn't straight enough, more boiling and then the cold water.

I've never used corrugated tubing but this is what I do with my plastic tubing and rexlace etc

have a nice hot shower
hang the plastic tubing from a door handle, the towel rack
anything really

the steam from the shower should help 'reset' the style of the plastic


but all kidding aside
steam + gravity = straight plastic
