[QUOTE="fredeb, post: 746536, member: 13623"] I don't see why they shouldn't . I've been thinking about it a bit more , and nevermind o-rings , buy a soft spring with inner-diameter just slightly bigger than the diameter of the tube . Then take a strong pair of side-cutters and cut the spring into single , double , triple or even quadruple rings , buy some sexy metal beads of your choice and string them up . The metal beads will assist in damping and cooling the glass walls of the tube . If you have a Jeweler friend you could even have gold beads made up ( gold being both soft and heavy for mass damping ) , otherwise lead sinkers are also soft and heavy . Beadshops also sell thin ( workable ) , silver-plated , coiled spring-steel wire . [/QUOTE]
