what plugs to use

G'Day all
I am attempting to repair the wrist seals in my CF200, I have the glue, the seals,tape & instructions , just wondering what to use for the plugging of the arms so that I can glue the buggers together - would 50mm PVC pipe do the trick ?
thanks

second on the coke bottle, but depending on the seal, can also use wine bottles and, my favourite, traffic cones

Use a toilet roll. It's easier to adjust for fit by peeling off layers than it is using something rigid and when glue sticks to it then it isn't the end of the world.

It's also useful for making drygloves, pack the glove out with a bog roll, fit the seal and pull the bog roll packing out in one strip through the wrist seal when the glue has cured.

I used a couple of small vacuum flasks.
