Has anyone tried Sugru as a socket material? It comes in small packets and is essentially uncured rubber. Mold it into any shape and 24 hours later it is set and stable.
It seems to me that embedding socket pins into this material might work well, as the pins would remain at least somewhat flexible and minimize stress on the tube pins...
