So a few years ago, I bought these...
https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/purchase-milky-white-50mm-x-3m-acrylic-tube.7235/
in the group by, for a few reasons, mostly laziness, they stayed under my house. I was wondering of those who bought them how did you go bending them.... I have had mixed success, and none have bent perfectly. The first one was going well but then buckled last minutes so I got a big kink, I did manage to get it out a little with a hot air gun and blowing threw it with one end blocked but still not great.
My best one was inside up against the window when the wind blew, knocking it to the floor, on the way down it hit the coffee table, I can attest to the brittleness of these tubes too!
I am wondering how it compares to the air seed hose? Has any body got both?
I used sand but heated it to more that 130, maybe that was my issues? I don't know? Here are some pics of how I did it.
I also found that the ribs I made with the whole saw caused dimples in the back. So I added the strapping, but that still was not great.
One last I guess complaint is that I found bad hot spots with the strip lighting I was using, I am thinking I could fix that by maybe turning the lights down, or even backing them with black electrical tape....
Anyway, what I really want to know is, how do these compare to air seeder hose?
