Hi guys. Any tips on how to shrink the internal diameter of a micro bore hose.? Just bought an inline tap but the hose blows off it as its too loose. Cheers!

 
If you cant shrink it do it like this .

Wrap insulation tape on the barb part of the inline tap until it is a snug fit and then use a jubilee clip or one of them squeezable pipe clips .

Dont waste your time trying to bodge it,it will keep leaking order the right 8mm fittings and wait a couple of days and do it right

 
How will it rip your fingers lol, just stop reeling in, as you will anyway cos it's where your tap will be? It's the only way mate or try super duper glue?
