braided vinyl

What do you guys think about this stuff. I bought some at Home depot today for .68¢ a foot. It seems to be alot more flexable that the standared vinyl and its way cheap too.

it resists kinking better than regular vinyl hose, but it looks like ass. ok if you dont have a window, otherwise.....

yeah I have some of that, it's a lot of fun due to the fact it virtually impossible to kink. But it does have a memory

And unlike silicone It has to be cut to exactly the right size. The stuff I got was ok but a little stiff to work with. But then I also have some silicone like this and it is a little stiff also.

This stuff seems to be real flexable and I think it's 3/4 OD and yes it definetly has a memory. It was tightly wound and I'm trying to work that out right now by stringing it across my room. I'll keep it like that for a day and see if it will staighten out a bit. If not I'm sure it will mold to my pattern in my case

I just moved all my WC stuff outside of my case. Now it sits several feet away from my PC. I needed a good bit of hose for the run, so I got some cheap 5/8" ID vinyl (regular) from Lowe's.
That stuff is a biatch to work with. Talk about memory. And it's even kinkier than I am.

GuyBFF killed his Tbird last summer using that stuff. He cut it too long and the stiffness of the tube lifted his block off the core.

BTW, where is GuyFF?

OMG a 2 inch tiranchula just crawled out of my case
