Question:

Where can I buy thin plastic flexible tubing?

I need it for a science experiment.It has to be thin and bendy/flexible, and not that long.Don't get confused with PVC piping, that's like 10 feet long, what I need is basically the same length as a straw, except it has to be bendy all the way.Regular straws don't work because I need to bend it 3 times, and still have the air flow through, but when i bend it, it's really tight and doesn't work.I need something like those plastic straws on juice bottles that can bend where the drinking part is, except something like that all the way through.If anybody could tell me where to get it (I only need one but will buy it in packages if the price is not too large) , or link me the website of the product, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I worked with 1/8 Plexiglas, and I cut it with my scroll saw. I needed to use ultra-fine saw teeth to do the job. Two problems happened. First, when the saw blade was set at too high a speed, it melted the Plexiglas. This also happened if I did not move the Plexiglas fast enough. I had to have the top vibration clamp fairly close to the Plexiglas to stop it from jumping up. Before I realized this was necessary, I split 2 pieces. My project was see through drawer fronts for merchandise display. I had to predrill the holes for the screws to mount the fronts into the wood sides. I used masking tape on the area that was to be drilled to protect the Plexiglas surface. I still had breakage. Next time I do a project of this type, I will use thicker acrylic.
