Could be. The only real problem is getting the tube out. Once it's out,
getting the stuff off of it and the cylinder it was in is no problem,
the adhesion is not very strong, just enough that you can't push the
tube out without likely smashing it.


Thanks!

In that case would mounting a vacuum chamber around the outside give enough
force for air pressure to shift it. Or compressed air around it with
appropriate seal? With some nearby soft physical restraint of course for if
it does move.
