For those that enjoy experimenting.

Not sure if it would work but I should imagine that it would have to be done in a chamber.

How about trying THIS

Pretty sure if it's got polyethylene in it it would be a non starter Derek but others may know better

Problem with this material Peter is that the normal glues we use will not work and it needs to be attached to the tube somehow otherwise everything starts spinning. I've tried shink fit in the past but a heavy cut will twist it off
