I got my black 60mm piping from screw fix, but If I hadn't been so impatient then I would have ordered the guttering in white.  It's a lot better fro seeing the colour of the glass.  I have bits of white paper in my black tubing.  For the other glass that I am less likely to have large quantities of I have 40mm white domestic waste pipe.  These I have cut into 25cm lengths with a 45 degree angle at the end.  Then I made two frames out of wood to hold them in.  The second lot that I did I didn't glue them together and I prefer it that way.  Because they are n the frame they sit in a grid which means that i can use the star like gaps between the tubs for sticking glass in too.

The tubes hold a minimum of

60mm 1 kilo
40mm 1/2 kilo

If I was making again I would only get 2 lengths of guttering and do the rest in waste pipe.

I have been getting my waste pipe from Wilkinson's.  The tube is more of a cream then a startling white.  (I think it might be cheaper too!
