;D I needed something controlable for my Foredom.Variations are certainly possible.
I used 1.a length of 3\8ths. clear flexible plastic tubing. 2. a P.V.C. "straight" valve[one inlet,one outlet and the operating handle]This is the quick connect style so you just push the tubing in-no glue. 3.waterproof glue I already had. 4. a container. I used an empty plastic quart pump-spray bottle and drilled a hole in the bottom[not on the seam] with a cone bit until the hose made a tight fit.I pushed the tube in about an inch and glued it in place.I left the handle alone so I can use it to hang the bottle on the other side of my motor hanger.I cut the hose and installed the valve in a convenient spot.I cut the delivery end at a 45 for better placement. I found that I have to loosen the cap a little so air gets in and it doesn't glug. You will need some way to aim the tube where you want it and something to catch the waste water.I've found this to be less sloppy than working in a contanier or with a bubbler.Mike.
