Make sure that whatever you are using as the base roller, such as a tube, is plugged at one of the ends. Attach your surgical tubing to an air hose nozzle using a zip tie or something. While blowing air(you will need to control pressure and flow) have a second person slowly push the tubing over the roller. Do not pull. Do not squeeze the tubing to tight if your hand is over the roller while pushing, it will turn into a balloon animal and pop.
