Found the Right Bulk Soft Bite Tubing

Title edited for capitalization. Please read Rule 9.

This is 5/16 ID, 3/8 OD so 1/16" wall thickness. It is small enough to fit my small bits and stretchy enough for my larger bits. It shipped from amazon, but it took a few weeks to arrive. Cushions the bit without bulking it up and you can cut it to the length you like.

Some have also used surgical tubing.

I have something similar to that too, but found it to be too thick and bulked up the bit too much for my liking.

Interesting. That's the issue i have with soft bits is the bulkiness. Also would be nice to find something that would fit the narrow diameter of a clay stem. Not a fan of teeth on clay!

I found a couple of pkgs of large silicone straws at a Marshall's or TJMaxx store and just cut them to fit.

Intriguing...putting this on my "to order" list right now! I have the same issue with the traditional softy bits providing too much bulk. I hope this will do away with that problem, yet still provide the cushioning I need.
