: For plugging vinyl tubing I usually use a convenient sized bolt for 1/4 inch
: ID to 1/2 inch ID tubing and a golf tee for narrower tubing.

Hi Paul,

I like the bolt. What if it was plastic say 1/4x1in long. Drill 1/8in hole cross wise thru it say at mid pt. Drill up thru small end to the cross hole.

Couple twists,blow. Couple twists, plugged. Don't ever have to completely unscrew.
