Ive had no luck so far to find any thin clear acrylic tubes, I wonder if anyone here might know where to source them?

Basicly the tube's inner diameter needs to be between 1mm to 5mm, with a wall width of at least 1mm (lenth doesn't matter as that can always be cut down to size). The reason behind it is to insert a tritium vail inside and epoxy it shut for keychain use (Ive got the vails, but as the exposed glass vail is rather fragile, it might fare better with an acrylic shield, this also allows me to drill a side hole for a key-ring).

Why don't you use a small piece of clear rubber fishtank air tubing or just pour your own acrylic and polish it?

Edit. Fill the tubing with clear epoxy.
