SpudFiles

What's the best for spudding? I bought some silicone 5mm which has not leaked or slipped without hose clips, very pleased.
I also bought some 10mm uPVC hose which leaks like a sieve, even with hose-clips and hot glue, no use at all to me!

uPVC seems more rigid than silicone so I'm putting it down to that, but out of silicone and (cheaper) rubber would rubber perform equally? Would silicone degrade usefully slower?

I would think that the ones you find on a gas grill would work pretty good. They are rated to 300psi to.

Otherwise, the standard compressed air hoses for compressors and welders has worked for me.

Sed aliquet a nunc in mattis.

I forgot to mention a crucial point is that the hose must seal nicely to hosetails, and one connection is clamped straight to a blowtorch head, hence the 3 options i gave.
Even if it was for something which could use threads or compression i think i would go for plastic in such a low pressure application as it is lighter and more flexible, and can be but to whatever size.

then you might as well use push-to-connect fittings and tubing... I suppose you can't find anything smaller than 4X2mm tubing

lol it's not that I mention it all the time, right ??

Wound up getting the silicone, and thank goodness I did!
Silicone does not leak, and just uses a hose clip to stay attached. It doesn't need hot glue etc, and is much thicker walled. Well worth the £3 extra.
