I've been making marbles in the 1 1/4" to 1 3/4" range using 3/4" rods for a long time. Now I want to do some tube implosions that will come out about the same finished size. What size tubing do you recommend I get?

I use 26mw 32mw 32hw and up but i guess it all depends on what your doing. You can do a lot with the 32mm though.

For something that size, I usually use 36mm heavy wall. The way I do it, the diameter of the tube usually ends up being close to the diameter of the finished marble.
