Two ways of dealing with this:
First method, making the hole in the tube holder narrower
- Clamp the tube holder in a vice with the hope facing up (or ask some one to hold it for you)
- Use a nail and hammer to make little dells in the surface of the hole. Each dell will create a “crater” that stick out, making the effective diameter of the hole smaller, so more friction.
- More craters = more friction.
Second method, making the tube wider
- Sand a small section of the open end of the tube, approximately as long as the hole in the tubeholder, a few mm wide. When you have a small hole in the tube (changed that some time ago to no hole anymore needed) sand on the opposite side of the tube,
- Apply a very thin layer of 2 component epoxy glue on the sanded part.
- Let dry until it is really hard and non sticky. Try to fit in the tube holder
- Too wide, too much friction? Sand it a little. Not enough friction? Repeat 2 and 3.
