Flexible Silicon Hoses
Any idea if silicon flexible hoses once bent hold their shape or do they spring back? Do people prefer this or is it best to build up the pipe work
with straights and preformed bends etc

The flexi stuff does bend back to straight after being formed
I make my pipes from silicone elbows with aluminium straights rather than silicone straights, this way you don't have so many joins/clips.

i tried it, but was very disappointed with it. bought a meter of the stuff, and its actually not very flexable at all, any decent bend in it will kink
the hose. much better to build it up with bends and hose joiners
