[QUOTE="thill, post: 502164, member: 4972"] 1/4" is probably right, but I made mine closer to 1/8", because when I crank down, my skins compress a little. I did one 1/4" long, and there was too much material and it split. You have to get it right. Too short, and it doesn't grab, too long and it will split. I bought some 10" tubes on Ebay, so I have plenty to play with, now. They cost almost the same as the little 2 and 3 inch long ones. Very happy with that decision. Now I can add a drain tube anytime I want without wincing at the cost if I mess one up. [/QUOTE]
