Re: Rubber(?) tubing used as wheel/roller traction material

We have used drawer liner from Home Depot for years as a roller material and it works great. Link

In 2009 we experimented with a number of different styles until we found one that worked the best and used it that year, 2012, 2014 and will again this year.

Not exactly rubber tubing, but it might be useful.

Re: Rubber(?) tubing used as wheel/roller traction material

If you are looking for this to cover intake rollers I am not sure it is needed.
We prototyped with plain ole PVC pipe and those grippy balls got sucked right in.

Just sayin

How has that pvc intake held up or did you move away from the idea?
