Need details and/or links for flexible tubing
I'm looking for 2 different types of flexible tubing.
One is the type that will fit over a strand of beading wire and used as a spacer tube.
The other is the kind that will fit inside a bead made on a 3/32" mandrel to keep the bead from wobbling.
Either specs on what to search for, or links to someplace I could buy them would be greatly appreciated.

I seem to recall someone on etsy selling the second one. Let me see if I can find it.
ETA - I can't tell 100% if this is the right size, but I think it is:

This fits inside the bead holes. At least, it fits inside mine made on 3/32" mandrels.

They may have the other that you are looking for. Oddly when I bought this they only carried it in 100ft measurements though...
ETA - A friend of mine on Etsy sells it too:

I've used model airplane fuel line for inside the bead. Here's a link, but there are other places to get it. I just didn't look too hard.

I get mine at Ace HArdware--you want the thin tubing for lawn mower or model airplane fuel lines, as Nina said.

I used catheter tubing from unused jugular catheters at work. Its a great size for 1/16 mandrel holes. You could ask a vet maybe if he has any to sell you. A medical supply place may be able to sell them to you. Just cut off the end.
