Silicone Bunsen Tubing

Post by linotas »

I saw some in a catalogue a few weeks ago and now for the life of me cannot remember where? We are having huge issues with our rubber tubing and them turning into flame throwers (have yet to witness it but am assured by one teachers that it has happened to him more then once AFTER he has checked the connections :unsure: ) and wanted to trial one. Anyone seen them?

We just use PVC tubing haven't had any trouble. Bunnings or any irrigation specialists. :coffee:

We had students fill their pencil cases up with gas, then go out and explode them in the yard.. the neoprene cases work REALLY WELL!
