How to Take the Curl Out of Plastic Tubing
- 1). Fill a heavy-duty pot with water and place it on a stove burner. Immerse the coiled tubing into the water. Turn the burner on high to allow the water to boil.
- 2). Boil the tubing in the water for five to 10 minutes. The heat will soften the tubing, allowing you to reshape it into a long, straight line.
- 3). Spread out a line of towels on your table or counter top. Make the line of towels as long as your tubing. Overlap the ends of the towels a bit to create a continuous line.
- 4). Use the tongs to remove the tubing from the boiling water. Lay the tubing onto the line of towels and spread it out to its full length. Roll the tubing up in the towel to keep it straight while the line cools.
