Good! Hadn't thought of that. Now to think of a way to block the
other tubes. Modelling clay or putty first comes to mind but I
don't have any. A quick consideration doesn't come up with anything
else commonly avaiable. Caulk too permanent. Ideas anyone?

If the tubes are soft, you can try to pinch them closed?

Small vise grips, hemostats...


Nope. Hard, brittle plastic.




they make plugs for 1/8" tubing. available in the drip irrigation
system area of home depot.

it's not very high pressure. i would bet duct tape would work for
temporary plugs.


I'll bet you're right on the duct tape! Thanks. Saves me a trip to
HD/Lowes.
