Clear tubing can be found, too. I would just call around. It can also be found in Marine shops, but be careful to get the non-adhesive kind. It is also possible to buy assorted sizes in small lengths, but there is lots of money to be saved on getting the longer pieces. Be aware though that the tubing gets thicker walled as it shrinks, so buy the smallest possible size, and I see it goes down to .06 inch. On a quick search using google I found so many internet retailers, I narrowed it down to only local ones and had 63 hits. -- Rob Blomquist Kirkland, WA
