"Or you can use a fat large rubber band around the SNS bottle and stick the tube up through the rubber band." I really like that tip, Susan. When I have used the SNS, I vent the second tube by taping and then the bottle gets all gummy eventually. The rubber band is an excellant idea. Do you have any tips for getting the gum residue off the tubing?
