Is anybody using anything other than the type of silicone connectors that EC sell that they can recommend?
I've found that, after half a dozen infusions or so, the excess resin begins sticking to them and they tend to start breaking apart. At around £4 each I wondered if there was a good alternative out there that might just have a bit more longevity?
Thanks
Mark

I use the EC silicone connectors most of the time, and I have made some nylon "connector plugs" that fit in the silicone and at the other end they fit the cheap PVC hose ..
A couple of times the nylon connector plugs got blocked by resin, but then I just check them in the lathe an drill out the resin ..
My First set of EC Silicone connectors lasted more than "15 bag-ups" I consider that good value ..
On smaller moulds (I do a lot of small stuff) I often just run the pvc hose in through the gum tape at one end .. With a piece of spiral inside .. Never had a sealing problem with that method.
