Q:What is the best adhesive to keep the paper on a plastic tube (Its an MM mini tube and standard scrapbook paper). I tried glue dots and it worked for 2 hrs then came off on its own. Id prefer to stay away from super glue since it could easily glue to my hands.

Q:i have to know, because otherwise the hoover is rendered completely useless, the bottle cap is the same size as the hoover tube and i do not have a stick or long object long enough with which to poke it out :(please help meunfortunately, the hoover tube is plastic :( regrettably majority of said tube is plastic and flexible...this darned cap! therefore cannot be heated up, as the hoover will melt..and i can't afford another one!so hanything else anyone can suggest would be greatly appreciatedthe cap is stuck quite far up, but in a solid part of the plastic, im not sure blowing would dislodge it as sheer hoover sucking power seems to do nothingHELP PLEASE!

if the hose or tube is strong enough you could bend the cap inside from the outside (similar to bending a beer cap) and it should fall out.. use a coat hanger wire with a hook in the end is another alternative.
