When I have enough for a collection they will all be summarized there.

This instrutable covers the use of junk hose to protect good hose ( like a compressor, gas line, or garden hose ).

Hose to protect: it must be small enough to insert into the junk hose. Some hose beyond repair. Usual small hand tools, sometimes some simple hardware, this is all pretty obvious.

My compressor hose fails all to often. ( Here is an example from instructables: Fixing a crimped compressor hose by gluefish Usually this is just at the connectors. This is a common problem because when you pull on the hose the forces tend to focus on the area around the connectors. You may have seen short sections of garden hose with a spring or wire around it to reduce the strain on the hose end. Here you add a short section of old hose to protect the compressor hose. The pictures make this pretty obvious.
