Hi everyone. Been watching this thread for a long time and I think its really great the ideas and suggestions that have been generated here. It's very inspiring. I have a quick question: is there a reason why most people here are suggesting silicone tubing as opposed to latex? I've noticed latex is readily available where I live and I am wanting to make my first stent...however, I don't want to use latex if there is a particular reason people have been sticking to silicone. Thanks!
