easy way to deal with your bump... find the inner diameter of your pvc pipe and get a piece of dowel rod that diameter glue it to the into one side of the pipe making a tong on grove type setup... it will eliminate the bump and strengthen the joints on the piping... on the other to snug it up use duct tape

Thanks but I sort out the bump by the end of the video :)

Your pipe track "connectors" should be replaced with an inner fitting that's glued INSIDE the pipe, you will have no bump at all.

[atavener]

Yh but can you still take the pipes apart if you do that?

[Silver1Sprg]

@atavener No you can't. I guess it's just another idea. I'm building a 6 foot long glide track using some of your ideas and a few other ideas. Looking forward to making this portable and smooth as possible. Thanks for your video.

[atavener]

Thanks! Cool, yeah see if you can perfect it, I'm sure this design isn't the absolute best way to do it.

Yo man..It Work well..and i'm just using the Masking Tape to wrap it till it "OK" tight enough and join together ...

[skinnyguy69]

i like your idea about the paint rollers for the connector, thanks

Nice tut but fix your sound man

You could consider PEX plastic Pipe. It comes on continuous lengths of up to 100'. No seams!

thanks! check out my chanell and my movie A ramp. I used a homemade dolly in that one :)

Just letting you know your using the wrong type of drill bit, that's a concrete drill bit.

For the connection between pipes, you may want to use wood in a square form, put it inside, stuff the edges with duck tape until it gets stuck inside the pipes. That way, you won't have that bump :)

put like 40 lbs of weight on it andit will be even smoother
