3/16 scrap length
Does anyone have a scrap length of 3/16 they would be willing to part with? I have a test I want to try. I will probably never use more tubing, so I don't want to buy a whole roll!
So I would need about 15 to 20 feet of 3/16, plus a 5/16 to 3/16 converter
Happy to pay shipping, cost of the equipment, plus something for your trouble. I live in the suburbs of Boston (Weston, MA) if there's anyone local - then no shipping.
Thanks!
