Hello all,

They are hollow, so you could insert a straigt wire of a more rigid
material, maybe a thin type of knitting needle (the ones used for socks,
pointed at both ends) Maybe it even helps to let a tube reinfored this way
rest for a couple of days. It would be a nice experiment to see if the • tube
stays relatively straight after you remove the needle. Or the other way
around, constrain the tube in a (not too closely) fitting external tube.

How about these technic bricks 1 x 2 with hole. You can put them thru these.
Probably they will not end up straight but atleast not bend. Of course you
have to leave it a couple of days to rest...

Greetings
