    Bad for the environment......
    Ever thought about the PVC sitting in the dump, poisoning the earth? Or the PVC going into the incinerators, releasing dioxin and other poisonous gases?

    Or how about that forum boy, stitting at his PC? What about all the oil that is burned, releasing CO2 into th environment and driving existing prices up, to power his forum whoreage? What about his watercooled PC that eats up far more energy than air cooling? Maybe we should all use cloth napkins, glass cups, and start annoying everyone about PVC on every thread that even mentions tubing choices?

    Sorry, I was being an
    The thing is, I think we should work together to phase out PVC. I didn't know any better, and bought masterkleer, but next time I will get polyurethane tubing. The production of PVC creates all this hydrochloric acid, it makes a bunch of toxic chemicals go everywhere, and its done because its cheap and useful...
    I mean, we're pwning the environment real bad already but doing something for the good of everyone's health is not a bad thing is it?

    Make sure you don't have any pvc in your house or in your use, then lecture us. You are doing much more damage to the environment then pvc tubbing in your pc would so you can cut your pretend ideology before you make a complete idiot of yourself and start with the things that can actually make a difference if you are so interested in the well being of our environment. But I don't think you give a rats ass about the environment, I think you are just just picking a fight and starting yet another pointless argument and flame war because thats what you do around here.

    Sorry, I just felt like it But I also mentioned, what of the risks to your health? I remember nn_step showing a pic of a torch burning up tubing... If that was him, ugh... dioxin...

    I used Scrubbing Bubbles on my MCW6002 block and it would work wonders on cleaning the inside. I have just used a bit of dishwashing detergent on a small piece of cloth rammed down the tubing on a coathanger to take the film right off.

    Must be a republican. Pity.

    On a more serious note: has a consensus been made on what type of tubing should be used to not have clouding/staining problems (and not kink like crazy and be flexible enough for serious bends)?

    Not that I know of. We're waiting to hear back from Marci on what St. Gobain have told him.
