Im about ready to try a bladder in my mold. First one went pretty well with vacuum, but the line melted at about 110c. 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.

Any silicone hose of the right diameter should be fine.
