Hi all,I have been making hoops for a few years now, but I recently depleted my once large supply of connectors. I have been reluctant to buy new connectors because the ones Home Depot and Lowes now…

Lisa Sparks replied to the discussion 'HELP.. Need advice quick please!'"I'm pregnant too, about 20 weeks. Agreed with everyone else, as long as you are not high risk and have been hoping regularly there should be no problem with you hooping throughout your pregnancy. FYI, my baby bump started…"

Lesley- Swirly Whirly Girl* replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"I think I found them here http://www.lascofittings.com/Products/catalog/PDF/InsertCatalog.pdf but I have not ordered them yet. I'm going to go check out my local true value first."
Judy Vanhooren replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"I've been using the same only 3/4" 160 PSI. I dont acually do this, my husband does, so there is more muscle power in it, than if I did it myself. They dont slip in, he has to use muscle to get it in and press it together. I have never had…"
circularlogic replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"Wow, I've never had them slip either in or out-- I have to boil the tubing to get them in & once in, they stay! I wonder if there's a difference in your tubing? I'm using Silverline Sil-O-Flex 1/2" 125psi."
Judy Vanhooren replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"Lisa, I live in Canada, and I have looked high and low for the lasco connectors, and I have had absolutely no luck! I will have to wait until I make a trip across the border, which isn't too often! :( Good luck with your hoop making, you…"
Lisa Sparks replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"Ok, that will probably work then, because when I heated them it was impossible to keep them from pulling apart.
Anyway, I'm on the hunt for the Lasco's, because I just like them better, in my opinion, they are just more secure. (I…"
Judy Vanhooren replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"When I started making them, I used the boiling water on the stove and heated the ends. Now my husband actually puts the connectors in by just forcing them in with no heat. I have had no problems at all with them coming apart, and we use our hoops…"
Lisa Sparks replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"Judy, when you make regular hoops with the Genova connectors, do you heat the material before installing them or just force them in? Maybe if I didn't use any heat it would keep the gap from forming?"
Judy Vanhooren replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"I personally have found that the Genova connectors work great for hoops that I am not collapsing. When making a collapsible hoop, they made a big space at the join and seemed to slip back a bit.
As far as regular hoops go, I have no problems with…"
Lisa Sparks replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"Circular logic: they don't have as many barbs as the other and they aren't as pronounced. I found I could install the without heating the tubing at all. Just as they slip in, they slip out. The pressure of the hoop…"
circularlogic replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"I use the Genova connectors, I think-- at least, mine have nothing to cut off, just a narrow raised line in the center-- they aren't labeled but I do get them from Lowe's-- & I've had no problems with them at all. What makes them…"
Amy Champagne replied to the discussion 'Connector Issues.'"oh also i can find these at my local true value!"
