errm... Barbs on the shoe box then I suppose. Drill a hole and screw it in, then seal the whole kaboodle with silicone. I got myself some acryllic tube, 76mm diameter, 4mm wall thickness, and I'm going to get poly end caps made with BSP fittings and some push fit acryllic tubes inside. Not exactly your ghetto answer though I suppose

A few pieces of PVC...a screw top and a end cap glued together. Is similar to the Danger Den Res design, but I fixed their problem...somewhat

My advice, go ghetto, but not dangerous. Make it homemade, but make it safe. You don't want a silicon-cardboard box res, that's for sure.

UnLoadeD has me beat on looks but mine still works

I constructed the rez from .25" acrylic, a 2 lieter top, and JB weld. Next time I'll use acrylic dissolvent cement since it forms a perfectly clear bond. DO not use epoxy; it becomes soggy over time.

Ok that makes more sense. I was picturing regular glass and tile drill bits in my mind, and I imagined it would be incredibly hard to keep those steady without them slipping on the curves.
