The O-ring idea like I have pictured did work at first, but it didn't stay. The shrink wrap I think would have worked. I slid it down past the edge in the same position as the o-ring was but the heat that it took to shrink it, ruined the already crappy rubber. That's when I put the original ones on & realized they are soooo much better

What did you use to shrink the tube? I have a craft sized heat gun I use only for shrink tube.
