Taylors tubes have a silver lid (check my sample in the gallery), EP tubes have a plastic lid as shown in one of the tutorial samples.
The samples with the cork on top are from EK Success. I don't know where to get those tubes.
The variation files are in a google document. I am not sure, but you might have to sign into google for that (gmail account).
Thanks again soo much for the great idea.
I ran out and bought some from Taylor Expressions (before they run out). Not a bad price 6 for $4.95.
