Supplier of silicone tubing?

[rabid]

Hi all,

I am trying to find some silcone tubing in long lengths @ 4 or 5 inches approx, @ 6 or 7mm dia.

 

The tubing that I had was purchased from a tackle dealer who has now gone bust, I have tried all the dealers that I know of in Sheffield but no luck so far.

 

I can purchase tiny pieces easy enough which are suitable for stick floats etc but not in a length for me to cut.

 

Alan.

on looking they only stock small dia.

p.s a search on silicone sleeve is an eye opener

alan, if there's any in your area, you could try some aircraft and boat modeling shops, they sometimes have coils of tubing, that they sell as fuel lines for model aircraft, soft and supple too. worth a try. cheers ...hoppy

Thanks Chesters1 & Hoppy for the replies.

 

I have found some at my local aircraft model shop in the lengths and diametres I required and a lot cheaper than I would have paid at a fishing tackle shop
