Longer than usual boobie tubes.

[Anjinsan]

Hi, I have a hankering for some boobie tubes.

But I need them to be about 4-5 inches long. The reason is I'd like to make a buzzer box with rollers, instead of the usual ripple/slotted/flat foam.

I can't find them anywhere they all seem to be precut at about an inch or so long. I suppose I could just thread 4 or 5 together,but that would look messy.

Any help greatly appreciated.

You could always cut your own

You can get booby tubing which you cut your self.

Not sure how I'd go about that mate. Tis the length I'm after, don't know how I'd cut a 5 inch cylinder,I could go with threading the small cylinders I've got. Maybe introduce a small circle of foam of a different colour between the tubes I have. Has to be pleasing to the eye you see.

(hum kind of a thinking to myself post there,but cheers for the input)
