Bending insert for petg

[kidmo87]

Hello everyone. I have a primochill petg with ID:3/8in and OD:1/2in. I have been using the primochill silicon bending kit with same ID and OD. It says its for Acrylic though. Well the deeper I try to insert the silicon, the harder it gets. Ive read in some places that this silicon bending tube from primochill isnt that great of quality.
Does anyone know of a good silicon bending tube that i should get for petg ID:3/8in and OD:1/2in that is no less than 2ft long?
Thanks

I have a Koolance one and you'll find that most all are like that. You'll need to use olive oil or soap to help with getting them in there. Friend from Thermaltake told me theirs was better about fitment but can't be sure. I tossed mine aside and do it a different way.

Yeah, I might go with yours because I tried both olive oil and soap. When I get to about 6 inches, it will not go any further.

Have you ever ran brake lines before?

 

[kidmo87]

Wow, great idea. I will definitely try that

I'm assuming you know what I mean, or that was just sarcasm. I use sand for my rigid lines.

lol no no i wasnt being sarcastic. its just earlier i was thinking about sliding something through it, and being able to pull through.
Maybe i wasnt doing it right, but that didnt work.
