Still trying: Where can I get 1/4" solid rubber tubing (no holes)?
Here is a picture of the closest I can find in the hardware stores:
http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...40/8455139.jpg What I need is rubber 1/4" tubing with no holes (a long cylinder). Any ideas where to get a solid 1/4" round rubber tubular gasket about 2 or 3 feet long? |

Tubing has a hole in the center.
If there's no hole, it's a rod, or something other than a tube. Make up your mind. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Arklin K." wrote in message ...

It appears you wanr solid rubber spline or backing rod, not tubing - as tubing, by definition, is hollow and open at both ends. I believe backer rod is what you are looking for - it is availavle in open cell, closed cell, soft and firm, among other variants. Check the Borg. |

This might assist you in your quest, Sancho. Steve |

AutoZone, O'Rielly's, Pepboys... any automotive outlet has air lines,
gas/fuel lines, etc., ..... thick walled rubber hoses with as little as 1/8" hole in the tubing. Sonny |

Interesting. I've been looking all wrong. I found pull through plugs (which might work): http://www.mcmaster.com/#pull-through-plugs/=hxmh42 And, I found tapered plugs: http://www.mcmaster.com/#rubber-stoppers/=hxm1ts So now I'm looking through the possibilities. |
