I am entering into month five of hooping with my home-made hoops. I have used 3/4" 160psi and 100psi, and also 1/2" 125 psi. My options are to either buy another bundle of tubing--but making it HDPE (it would cost me more just to "try")...or to buy a single, blank polypro online. I have not hooped with anything other than the regular PE, so I don't have much to go on... If I go with HDPE, will I still find myself wondering if I could've skipped it and moved straight to Poly Pro? Also I should add that I am always broke and I usually have to convince my husband that I REALLLLY NEEEED this hobby of mine...so cost is an issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated, even if I can guess what most of you will say! :)

Permalink Reply by LiviJoyHoops on August 28, 2012 at 4:17pm I have been using my polypro that I got from HoopSupplies for a couple of months now, and it is my best friend of hoops! I ordered the one with the travel connector option, so I don't have to rely on just the friction fit alone. LLOvve it!!! Ps. I did not get mine sanded. That costs extra. I thought I would do it myself, but I chickened out and put gaffers tape on it instead. It does not seem to have affected it negatively in anyway, except that it is a little harder to keep clean.
