Sorry gents got the spec wrong. I need 100mm clear plastic tube to make a Stirling Engine. Say 6mm wall thickness. The exact size is not critical. TIA John.

The best way to get that is to buy one of those column lamps with plastic fish and bubbles in in a market, but the wall thickness will be about 3mm, if that's enough.
I'd like - no, actually I'd hate - to be proven wrong though. I'd been looking for suchlike for a long while, and gave up and bought a lamp (broken, and cheap, but ...).
Have you tried a 'Makrolon' stockist like Amari Plastics?

I am proved wrong, but that's such a useful site that I'm actually rather pleased. Thanks.
While we're on a roll, you don't happen to know of a supplier of expanded polypropylene foam, by any chance?
Recently used Atlas Plastics for some large 10mm thick Cast Acrylic Sheets, excellent service.
