Re: How do you make surgical tubing roller
We did a latex surgical tubing roller this year. Just a little bit of alcohol does it. A little goes a long way. The hardest part was trimming up the ends of the rubber without it sliding or looking like crap. To do that, we put the tube assembly in the lathe and very carefully trimmed the ends with a box cutter. Our intake was actually a 3-roller system with polycord running in grooves of the latex tubing (using #25 chain for power transmission), which fed right into our shooter.
