Can you encase using clear tubing?

I have some clear tubing from Lauscha and was wondering if I could use it to encase or am I asking for trapped bubbles?

boro users do this all the time. (if encasing inside tube - no idea about outside - sounds problematic.) might go haunt talkglass.com

Yup, do it all the time with boro. You just have to make sure to heat from the losed end to force the air out.
