confusion over the price of Viton
I've done lots of searches for info on viton tubing. People have said that it costs $2-$3 per foot, but it costs $8 a foot at http://www.mcmaster.com. Where are people finding it so cheap?

The 1mm thickness hose is not thick enough. It will collapse under vacuum. You need to purchase the 1/8" thick wall tubing (english units only). The thicker walled tubing IS $8-10 a foot (or more).
