I have no idea what you are really talking about exactly, but I assume you are referring to using water to lubricate a glass tube before trying to push it through a rubber stopper with a hole in it. The water will help the glass slide through the small rubber opening, which can be sticky otherwise.

What are the safety precautions and techniques when inserting a glass tubing in a rubber stopper?

never attempt to insert glass tubing that has a jagged end, all glass tubing should be fire polished before its inserted into a rubber stopper. Use water or glycerin as a lubricant at the end of the glass tubing before inserting it into the rubber stopper. ask teacher for proper lubricant. Protect hands and fingers by wearing leather gloves or placing a folded cloth between your hands and the tubing. hold it as close as possible to the part it is inserted to the rubber stopper. always point the tubing away from the palm of your hand that holds the stopper. use a twisting motion and push the tubing into the stopper. At the end of the experiment put on leather gloves or place the folded cloth between your hands and the tubing and remover the stoppers from the tubing to keep them from sticking to the glass. if it wont budge, use lubricant.

What are 2 differences between tubing and sledding?

Water tubing your on water in the summer, snow tubing your on snow during the winter. Water tubing is behind a boat and snow tubing is down a hill. Water tubing has special tubes that are expensive and snow tubing can use any tube. Water tubing you have to wear a type II life jacket by law and snow tubing you don't have to wear anything. Water tubing needs an observer, driver, and the person being towed and snow tubing only need the person on the tube. Also in my personal opinion Water Tubing is awesome! and snow tubing is alright.
