Re: EVA Tubing
Be warned that you heat it in near-boiling water in order to shape it. Which means that you can't use it for all applications or else it loses its shape! I made some delivery tubes for the Pasteur experiment and they flopped spectacularly when the broth was boiled!

Re: EVA Tubing
Ahhh, now I know what the mystery tubing is in the drawer here! So, no I haven't used it but thanks for sharing the info - it may now get used!
Re: EVA Tubing
I bought some about 2 years ago - and the teacher who requested it has never picked it up since...
