Re: Surgical Tubing
The best method of connecting ends of surgical tubing that I've seen yet--especially if you want to use it as a loop is to cut about 1.5 in. of pneumatic tubing, then roll back .75 in. of the the surgical tubing onto itself (like folding down socks). Place a few drops of crazy glue on the pneumatic tubing (half of it). Unroll the surgical tubing onto the pneumatic tube. Duplicate the process with the other end of the tubing. The weld will NEVER come apart and is minimally larger than the original diameter of the surgical tubing. We have used that method for many years with no failures yet.
Now, as for the reason why you want to use it.... As mentioned above, use the poly cord it is perfect for this application.
