Or use an old cracked one if you have it. You will need a six pin version for a six tube CFS, four for a four tube CFS, etc... Get a set of bottle caps with no holes in top. Pinch a tube off and remove from bottle. Run the end of tubing under fairly warm water for awhile. After a minite or two, if the CFS tubing is like the CIS tubing, the little metal pin in the plastic base fits right in to the tube. As the tube cools, it seals tight and you can remove the pincher. Repeat for the rest of tubing, washing excess ink off as you warm the tubes under warm water. Seal the bottles with the caps. The MIS rivets are too big to fit in the tubes...use the $15 EZ-Plugs. Or go to hardware store and buy smaller rivits or a metal rod maybe.. Jim H.
