Re: Recoil tubing?

In the past we have made our own by coiling the kit tubing around a pipe and heating it up, either in an oven (200 degrees) or with a heat gun. You have to be careful with this because if you heat the tubing too much it could collapse. Also over heating might make the tubing brittle, but that takes a LOT of overheating. We've been pretty succesful using this method.
