I live in Phx, AZ and am having trouble finding a store that will sell me just 2 ft of teflon tubing. Does anyone have an online source that doesn't have a minimum order?<br><br>What I did find is poly vinyl tubing - outside diameter 3/16". This is pretty thick tubing, so the ID is pretty small. Is poly vinyl food-safe?<br><br>Thank you for all respones. Xavier Phx, AZ

Polyvinalcloride (PVC) has been in the news lately both for the pollution in manufacture and health considerations. For an expedient drinking straw go ahead. We are exposed to a lot more chemicals daily. Try Blueline outfitters for teflon. Barry is pretty good about making stuff like this available ( and I need some also)

You might also look around for latex rubber tubing. In addition to getting water, it will have some first aid applications - tourniquet, etc.

go to walmart and buy a replacement band. there strong, lightweight and can be used for many more uses than just getting water(sling shot, furst aid)
