Q:I get loads of plastic tubes of mini eggs at easter, and they just get thrown away. What could i make out of them?

I don't think you can really do anything with them. Instead of throwing them away, just recycle them.

Q:I was changing my engine oil via the dipstick tube and a special suction device that pumps the old oil out of the sump to be replaced with fresh oil. Unfortunately, i had to patch up a hole in the tube on the suction device with parcel tape/sellotape wrapped around and a small piece of tape (around 2x2 square) fell into the engine dipstick tube and appears to have slid down into the oil sump.Will the oil filter make any difference in keeping melted plastic out of the engine? Am i best calling up the manufacturer, not the dealer as i don't want them to know about my error. The engine still runs and i have driven 20 miles so far with no problems. 2009 year Citroen C1Thanks

if the peice of tape gets 'sucked onto the oil pump pick up screen it will stop lubrication of the whole engine and engine failure. I would get it out asap and do the next oil change in the proper manner.

Q:I need to connect some flexible plastic tubing to a hard plastic nozzle both 3/8 outer diameter. It needs to be able to be attached and detached easily (like screwing it in or something), and the seal between them needs to be water tight. Anybody have any ideas? Are there any couplers that can do this easily?. I'd rather not thread the inside of the hard plastic nozzle, but if thats the only way, how do I do that?

they make a great coupler called a SHARK BITE. Go to home depot to get them. Easy on and off as you need

Q:Are plastic tubes suitable for agricultural applications?

Yes, plastic tubes are suitable for agricultural applications. They are commonly used for irrigation systems, drainage systems, and as protective covers for plants. Plastic tubes are durable, lightweight, and resistant to corrosion, making them a cost-effective and efficient option for various agricultural needs.

Q:how do you get 2 pieces of plastic tube unstuck?

Are they PVC? Is there a joint or fitting over them (a bigger piece of PVC that both tubes fit into)? Did someone else assemble it (or did you assemble it with a PVC glue)? If you answered yes to all three of these, you are in trouble. PVC is often assembled with glues which can be very difficult or impossible to undo. It is often easier to just cut the PVC and then extend it with a new joint.

Q:How are plastic tubes manufactured?

Plastic tubes are typically manufactured through a process called extrusion, where raw plastic material is melted and forced through a die to create a continuous tube shape. The molten plastic is then cooled and solidified, and can be further processed for specific applications such as cutting into desired lengths, adding fittings, or printing labels.

Q:How do you label plastic tubes?

Plastic tubes can be labeled using various methods such as adhesive labels, heat shrink sleeves, direct printing, or laser etching, depending on the tube material and intended use.

Q:How do plastic tubes perform in extreme weather conditions?

Plastic tubes can perform well in extreme weather conditions, as long as they are made from materials that are resistant to temperature changes, UV radiation, and other environmental factors. However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat or cold can potentially affect their structural integrity and flexibility. It's important to choose the right type of plastic tube for specific weather conditions and consider additional protective measures, such as insulation or protective coatings, if necessary.

Q:How do you prevent plastic tubes from cracking under pressure?

To prevent plastic tubes from cracking under pressure, several measures can be taken. Firstly, using a high-quality plastic material with good tensile strength and flexibility is crucial. Additionally, reinforcing the tubes with additives or fillers that enhance their strength and resistance can be beneficial. Maintaining proper installation techniques, such as avoiding sharp bends and ensuring adequate support, is also important. Lastly, regular inspections and maintenance to identify any signs of wear or damage can help prevent cracks from developing or worsening over time.

Q:You can go to you local store and buy a pack of popsicles that are all different colors and in the plastic tubes,you just use scissors to cut the top so you can eat it.Well I bought a pack at Walmart the other day and noticed my favorite type wasn't in there(pink).But the last time I remeber they had pink.So please help me :(Any help,research,or opinion would be helpful :)

Pink still remains the Fla-vor-ice brand's most popular flavor ( punch ). I can find no information on the possible retirement of that flavor. I think that would be silly to retire your most popular flavor. That is my daughter's favorite too. In our last box of 100, they had some in it. But if you switch to the tropical box it is a different set of flavors.
