Is there an easy way to insert the silicone tube into the hardline tubing without soap and water?

If I attach a safety pin on 1 end of the silicone insert and insert it into the petg tubing, can I use a strong magnet like a neodymium magnet to pull the silicone insert through? Is that possible?

The friction between tube and silicone will probably prevent that from happening....

well since this is the forum of LinusSexTips, try water based lube lol

It will most likely stick, soapy water is usually the best option, why don't you want to use it? The soap can just be flushed after the bending without any residue being left in place.

OOT, but how do you become Mod? 

show that you are power hungry and willing to show off how cool you are by banning people who annoy you.

 

put the silicon in the tube a bit and suck on the other end.

Because if I have alot of bends to make I don't want to dry my skin plus it is still very difficult to insert the silicone after some length is already in the tube

Even if I use a very strong magnet?

You could just put gloves on and do it, just mind you don't melt the glove onto your hand.

 

Or just buy some moisturiser and put that on your hands afterwards... I never though't I'd be seriously recommending moisturiser to someone building a computer...

 

There's very little chance a magnet will be able to overcome the friction of the tight tolerances between the silicon rod and the tube.

Well, your nick is aloe vera after all

Haha, that hadn't occurred to me... Oh the irony!

 

It appears I should recommend it more often!
