Thank you Annette. I have attached the extra pieces and overlapped at the center about 1.5 inches. I think this will work. I used the extra bits of tubing I had. I will load a practice piece tonight and that will be the true test. If it doesn't hold, I'll order more tubing but I sure wish they didn't crimp it like they do when they package it. I don't know why they just can't roll it so it doesn't have creases in it.
