Paasche vinyl tube alternative

[Brian Conn]

  I shoot a Paasche VL airbrush w/the 1 oz. glass jar.  After my last session, I went to clean the air brush and discovered cracks in the vinyl pick up tube that is in the glass jar.

 
 1/8" I.D X 1/4" O.D micro fuel line (Red) One foot of fuel line cost me $2.00...enough to last me a long time.

 
  As it turns out,the inside dia. of micro fuel line (gas powered weed eaters as an example) is a perfect fit over the fitting on the glass jar lid.  Instead of trying to clean the pick up tube every time I use the air brush,I will just simply replace the used pick up tube with a new, clean one.

Good source for tubing. Would work good with the taller jars some paint vendors are using
