Roughly around 30-40cm long, rigid clear plastic .. diameter isnt TOO important, but around 2cm roughly would be nice .. Preferably cheapish if possible .. I can picture in my mind exactly what I need, but can't think of something they'd have actually been used for.. Tried bunnings/etc and come up blank ..
Anyone got any ideas? :)
Thanks in advance! (Preferably clear, but coloured/tinted plastic would be fine also) ..
Thanks!
Try searching for words like acrylic or polycarbonate with the obvious 'tube' or 'tubing'.

Look in the Yellow Pages for your local plastics supplier - they should stock acrylic tube in a bunch of sizes. In my case it's the local fibreglass shop that also stocks acrylic sheet, rod and tube and, conveniently, the stuff to stick it together.
Go to a plastic seller, or fabricator. (or bettter yet ring a few.) you'll probably have to do that during business hours.

Is there a special glue? I just use cyanoacrylate glue (supaglue), it sticks acryic really well.

I use CA too, but the guy seems to have a whole shelf-full of solvents and cements.
Have you tried a chemistry equipment supplier? Might be worth a try. Also, some of the animal auto water/food dispensers use a tube like that - if you only need a couple perhaps you could modify one of those.
