Some of the old laboratory chemisty books have the same suggests as Mr Barden, plus more.

I don't know if you have thought of this already or if it would cause
you any problems in what you are doing, but typically when inserting a
glass rod into tubing or a rubber stopper or anything else of the sort
it is common practice to put a small amount of glycerol or soap onto the
rod to lubricate it and allow it to slide in more easily.
Take care,

Subject: [DCHAS-L] attaching tubing to glass
A step in one of the analyses we do in our lab involves connecting Tygon
tubing to the end of a glass tube. We have Kevlar gloves for this
purpose, but I've heard of an additional safety device that can also be
used for this purpose-though I can't find one. I've done the obligatory
Google search with no luck. Has anyone heard of or used anything that
reduces the risk of getting cut while attaching hose/tubing to glass
tubes or rods?
Many thanks; I hope everyone has a great weekend!
