Title: Help
Post by: Keefie on November 30, 2011, 03:18:14 am

I've read about these plastic tubes for storing my blades in, does anyone know where in the UK I can get them? I've looked everywhere I can think of to buy them,but no one seems to stock anything like that. Either I'm looking in the wrong places or they think we don't use them over here.

Hi Keefie
I know this is going to sound a strange place to look but Ebay sells them under "Shot tubes, Wedding favours".  I bought some a few weeks back and they are exactly what you are looking for.
Hope this helps
Roy

Some folks use PVC. Just cut to the length you need and plug the bottom, then band them together.
