Ace Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Some 30 - 40 years ago they made slip trailers - actually kidney shaped rubber pouches, with a tube insert. The rubber was similar to a bicyle inner tube in texture. Nowadays you can only get rather stiff bulbous slip trailers, or plastic bottles. These, however do not have the control that the old kidney type had and I wonder if anybody a) remembers them knows where they can be sourced or c) has any to sell/dispose of???

Lucille Oka Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 You can try these but be advised these bulbs are made for the photographic industry. http://www.freestyle...ne-Blower-Large They are made of rubber and they also come in handy for plaster mold making.

I have a few that are about 25-30 years old smaller red soft rubber-The new ones are not near as nice-mine are slowly cracking I do have some of the above ones and they work fine but not as good as my old red ones with detachable tubes/tips I hope someone can find a source as I have not.

Lucille Oka Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I remember seeing these in the Ceramic Supply catalog. These are a little pricy but maybe the nibs will be worth it. Slip Trailer Set.doc Slip Trailer Set.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
