vincinator44Nice rig and storyline. Was there any issue with getting the acrylic tubing to seal? Did the inner diameter deform when bending?
LCRavaAwesome build! Great job on the tubing and sleeving. I will most definitely use Acrylic or PET in my next build
erayserImportz2k1That looks great! How do you bend it, do you use a tool?FCPU sells a bending kit that comes with a silicone tube and cotton gloves. You will also need a heatgun. You insert the silicone tube into the acrylic tubing so when you bend it, it doesn't kink. There is a YouTube video by Primochill on the basics of bending acrylic tubing. For my acrylic tubing, I bent my acrylic free-hand over the heatgun with the cotton gloves on... and bent it very slowly make sure it doesn't kink... and have the correct radius to connect to both compression fittings. It will be a lot easier to bend with the monsoon mandrels... which you can buy from FCPU or performance pcs. I would have bought the monsoon acrylic bending kit... but it wasn't available when I was making my loop.drake187Sick !!! I am about to convert my modrigs angelic suffering any pointers? I have the monsoon and primo bending kits Very nice... My only pointer is to maybe buy extra tubing to practice, plan your loop well, take your time, and don't give up. After you complete your acrylic loop, it will be worth the effort... and you will see the benefits of acrylic tubing... especially when you do your maintenance. I've seen a few give people give up because it can be frustrating.
