Excellent! I'm going to have a go at doing this myself. I'm just a little worried about the bending. What should I use to put inside the tube before ebnding and where can I get it?

A very, very interesting thread!

Would a paint stripper "gun" be good enough to heat the tubing up with? I would also be a little concerned with the bending, I would probably go with the table salt method as I don't think I'd have anything suitable to place in the tube...

Has anyone tried a wider ID yet?

Copper pipe bending springs, they are good for this.
