For those without fancy tools or pliers, this method can be used to cheaply and effectively attach tubes to a pouch with 1745 tubing.
The first step is to gather the materials. To begin with, you will need your tubing, a pouch, a short length of 1745 tubing (approx 4mm) and a ballpoint pen. Roll the 1745 tubing piece onto the pen via the tapered tip. Roll it along the pen cartridge until it is close to the other end. Open the end of the pen opposite the tip (in this case by removing the screw cap) and remove the ink tube. Insert the tubing into the end of the pen and roll the 1745 piece off the pen and onto the tubing.
Step 2 is to push the tubing through the hole in the pouch and fold it over onto itself. Use the fork to push the tubing through the hole if it is a tight fit.
Step 3 is to use the fork to stretch out the piece of 1745 to pass the tubing back through after being fed through the hole in the pouch. Once through, remove the fork so that the piece of 1745 is over both bits of tubing. Tidy up the attachment by pulling on the ends of the tubing to ensure everything is the same length.
Step 4 - Repeat as necessary
Hope this is helpful to those who use or are considering tubing.
