for those interested in making tubes here is a easy way. I am using a 1/16 inch rod for a hollow body but you can use as small as you want to almost get a solid body tube. I bend my rod so I can horizontal dip but you can also do this for vertical type tubes. ( head one color tail another ) heat your plastic and slowly dip the rod into the plastic, remove for a few seconds and do it again. repeat till you get the thickness you want on the tail. I then heated up my second color and dipped the tube in half way. Next I put on eyes. ( because I like em ) and then heated up a third cup of plastic and vertically dipped the tube so I could seal the eyes on. After it cooled I removed it from the rod and cut the tail with a scalpel or razorblade. You can make the tails as long as you want. HAPPY DIPPING:D
