[QUOTE=MichaelP] [QUOTE=crazymanmichael] what do you intend using it for? [/QUOTE] Beer straws [/QUOTE] Yup! Michael, your thread about surgical rubber got me thinking about this tubing to wrap the body after binding, not as a binding material as my original post may have suggested. |

I gathered as much I just having a manic day I tried surgical tubing, Not this stuff, and it worked great. However I did like Todd showed in the other topic and taped first then used the tubing to draw in good and tight. I am trying to design a system that where I don't use tape at all and clamp with band as I work my way around. |

They make flat banding too. seems like it would be less likely to roll around as you position it. Kinda wide but easy enough to cut. Here's a source..... http://www.fwonline.com/lftbands.htm Cheers |

Hmmm. Kirt, I hadn't thought of the bands. I even have some at home. Also, it could cover a much wider bit of binding than the tubing. Now to find out what "synthetic elastomer" means. Thanks! |
