Well I worry about crushing it , not because of the cost but because I
am a klutz when making it and it looks so bad , I am going to try black
plastic drain now and hoping I can make it look better. 10' of the 4"
for my small coil was only about $3.

      I was wondering that myself.
      I just placed an order for 30' of the 8" size of your "#2" style.
I'll
let you know how it compares to the 4" and 6" stuff I've been getting
from my
local Home Depot (and whether it's really 2-1/2' long when compressed!).
      Why are people so worried about crushing their toroids? I might cry
if I
dropped and dented a nice expensive spun one, but it's easy to patch up
a very
cheap home duct-toroid.
