Default pneumatic cylinders for retracts

Hi there,

I need to make some pneumatic cylinders for retracts.
Has any one got any good ways of making them.
I figured i'd use k&b tubing, but not sure the best way to cap the end and still make them accessible.

How do you make the piston end unleakable???o-rings...

cheers

If you had a lathe you could make the pistons and fit them with a groove for o-rings. Most people don't have a lathe. You can buy Retracts that use cylinders....
