Anyone know how to straighten nylon tubing ?
« on: Wed, 12 October 2016, 13:43:19 »



I need it to not affect the diameter as much as possible.

It's sold in rolls.

And, google says heat it..   so I know heat would soften it, but, then there's diameter..

Could try soaking it in hot water

Would it just return to straightness,  or do i need to apply pressure..

The problem I'm having is ,  I don't know of a way to apply Even pressure, which may cause odd formations.
