[GreenKeys] Fwd: Teletype wiring vinyl tubing

[John, W9DDD]

Panduit web site lists their plain clear tubing as being PVC.  Other 
similar products are variations of poly.... such as PET.

Wish I hadn't pitched my old Newark and Allied catalogs.  Perhaps they 
would have helped.

I kind of messed with Windex and Pledge for the white gooey stuff.  Not 
sure whether it helped the flexibility.  I think the Pledge worked 
better for removal of the white stuff.
