Tubing for STP

[xander]

So I went to the local hardware store and bought some tubing. As far as I could see it was the only one they had. I made a working STP but the tubing i bought is far too hard and made the packer so fat and hard that I could never hide it in my pants.

Where do you guys buy tubing and what specifically do you get?

latex or silicone is good for STPs.

I think what most hardware or home improvement stores have is either vinyl or latex.  Vinyl is stiffer than latex.  But just know that over time, latex grows in girth and length.

I specifically went to Ace Hardware and got the most common (1/4) latex tubing, (which is usually the only kind/size they carry.) I adapted that with a medicine spoon receptacle, and it folds up easily (making it easy to use it to and from the pocket discreetly.)
