Anybody have a source for some firehose?

No this is not a joke. I need to glue some paneling to the frame of my trailer that I am building. In the past, I used a long brace and put a piece of firehose between the clamp bar and the paneling, then inflated the firehose to provide a uniform pressure. Anybody have a place to score maybe 20 feet?
 
If you were only closer to me....
Check out some of your local fire sprinkler companies, they may have some laying around. I know we do here in Salt lake.

Were you looking for some 1.5"?

That would probably work. After thinking about it, I am going to hit my local Ace Hardware. They have the space saver hose that when empty is flat. It would be easier to connect an air chuck. I am glueing to a 1x1 steel frame with a 1x2 thrown in every so often, so a smaller diameter would work as well. You don't want to apply so much pressure that you force out all the glue.
 
You never cease to amaze me...
I make my living by coming up with new ways to do things. My motto is that you give the hardest job to the laziest guy and he will find the easiest way to do it. For those of you who know me, I am a lazy perfectionist.
