Post by: Bootlegger on March 11, 2009, 09:30:03 AM

   The search engine for "clear plastic hose" such as is on the "chicken stick" but nuttin came up...  Any advice as to where to look next?  I need a size about 3/4" i.d. to make a chicken stick..
                                                  Thanks, Gil

Hi Bootlegger.....almost any hardware store sells the stuff.  As long as they sell plumbing supplies, they will likely have the hose.  Another is a farm supply store.  They use that type of hose for pumps and such. H^^

I bought some for that very purpose at Ace Hardware.  It was on a roll in the plumbing section.  If memory serves, it was about a dollar for a foot of it.

Neighbor's garden hose.  ;D

Plan B: I think I saw some at a "True Value" hardware store.

You can really narrow it down by going through their selection process, this is just one quick shot.

I just wrap some duct tape on my finger, where the cut's going to be, and start flipping. And I've used tuned pipe connector hose in a pinch.

Mine is made of air brake line from a bus, same as heavy trucks use.
