Help. Syphon airbrush tube thingy

[ping-pong]

i bought some new pots for my airbrush yesterday. the guy told me that they are made by the company that makes my airbrush and they should fit ok. trouble is they are half an inch too long for the syphon tube that is connecting my airbrush to the paint. i hope thats understandable?

Is there anywhere i can get parts for my airbrush like the tubing or does anyone know what alternatives i could use.

Thanks for your time on this.

I wonder if you could heat it gently and stretch it?

Thanks for replying. i used one of the tubes off my mums hearing aid and it seems to have done the trick. (dont worry she has spares lol)

cheers mate.

I had this same problem years ago with a cheapie Badger, (which I still have kicking around somewhere and I can now pass on my fix, wahey

BIC ballpoint pen refill tubes are the precise diameter, find one or two of these which have been all but used up, chop off the correct length, et voila
