I had great success with rubber windshield washer hose. It comes in several different diameters. The tubing wall is thick enough to hold its shape, yet it stretches easily to allow it to slip out once the epoxy is set. For extra precaution, I wrapped the tubing in teflon tape. The tubing is reusbale so you can use one piece to make any number of fittings.

One thing I really liked about using the tubing is that you can easily flatten the bottom of the loop making for a shallower fitting, yet the bunger/line can still easily move through it. See the picture below.

Here's a blog entry I did on my process. Worked fine for me.
