Have you seen the rubber/neoprene hose that is collapsible at the hardware stores? It comes in varying diameters and could possibly be used as a liner to the original vac hose. It's strong, flexible and probably very durable. The challenges would be sealing the ends of the liner to the original couplings/hose-ends although your liquid latex or a silicone sealer, even pliobond would probably work for that. The other issue would be that it would need to be stretched tight inside the hose so the suction wouldn't pull it in on itself and cut off the hose. Perhaps a dose of adhesive, inflating the new hose inside the vac hose and then trim and seal the ends? Just trying to think 'outside the hose'... |

I just got another idea. What if after pouring the latec thru th hose, you put it on the exaust of another vacuum to force the extra latex out? Or evern clew the latex into the hose somehow? |
