Luckily it kind of just collapsed on itself and sealed so part came out fine, but I obviously need something better. Is there something I can get at the hardware store that will hold up to 120c? I'm sure I could order something, but really want to lay up a part this weekend. Might be doing both vacuum and pressure so preferably something that will work for either.

Or you search for a pneumatic supplier nearby, to get something wich is made for this application. Usually a silicone hose.

I could probably even come straight into the oven with a peice of copper tube to connect to the pressure inlet of the bladder. If I don't find a good solution and end up having to order, what is the proper stuff?

The ones we get are good for up to 260° C and work really well.
