Step 5Finish the Effect Tube
Once the vinyl glue has cured, remove the effect tube from the clamping device. The end of the tube should be flat and fused closed.
Using a hobby knife, carefully cut a small hole about 3/4" down from the fused section. The hole should be about 1/8" in diameter, and irregularly shaped in order to produce a spray of blood rather than a squirt. Unless you want a squirt, that is. In that case make the hole as perfectly round as you can. Maybe use a drill bit....
If, after testing your squib, you find that it sprays too far or too fine a mist, simply enlarge the hole with scissors or a hobby knife until you get the effect you want.
Once your hole is cut, push the other end of the tubing into the open end of the push-fit splice, and you're done with assembly.
