"Bucking" around

[Johnny Alpha]

Plastic cable ties (small) work for me. Pull them tight with pliers.

Water worked for mine, swab the inside of the hose w/ a small
whatever and the fitting, the cram it on.

I have a pile of two sizes of the springy squeeze clamps, the
smaller of the two didn't clamp tight enough on the hose when
used at the back of the IM to keep me from spinning it.  I may
not have the smaller sizes but I seems to thinks it was 1/4".
