While I am smarter than a five year old (me thinks so), I am struggling with fitting 1/4" vinyl tubing on the barb of a diffusion stone.
I've tried soaking the tube in warm water, soap, force, swearing, and sweet-talk but the best I can do is push the tube two barbs up on a 6 barb post.
I have even heated the tubing, shoved a tapered metal chopstick an inch into the tube, cooled the tube in the freezer (with chopstick) in hopes that the tube will maintain form. Nope. Do I need to boil the damned thing to make it more malleable?
Can you help me outsmart this tube?
It appears to be easy but this freaking tube is defeating me.
Any suggestions?
