Re: coiled tubing

If you need coiled tubing, please buy it from the sources listed in this thread. I've heated tubing up before (for non-pneumatic use), and it ruins the integrity of the tube. I've also seen teams that created their own coiled tubing that looks very professional, but that's just how it looks. As soon as you apply heat and tension, you compromise the rated pressure of the tube.

Please, just buy coiled tubing that's been rated by the manufactuer rather than saving time and making it yourself.
