Hi,
I just ran out of my pack of
#64 Hobbico Rubber Bands. Being lazy, i did not want to get another pack.
Its common knowledge that rubber bands can be made out of cycle tubing too.
(Thanks to Harshit Batra for reminding me)
So i tried to give it a shot.
What you need:
Cycle tubing (
your neighbor's cycle is a good and recommended source)
SR 998 Rubber based adhesive (
SR998:SPADDers::Honey:Honeybee)
Ruler, Pair of Scissor and a Balcony with plants and insects.
☣ Cut desired sections of the tubing in smaller cylinders.
☣ Cut the hollow cylinders along the height
☣ Then Cut rubbers of desired lengths {
Limneatness->0 f(neatness)}
☣ Paste the ends with SR 998 (carefully follow the back instructions)[
One section gives about 8-10 rubber Bands.
One Complete tube will reap around 35-40 rubbers (
in my case and taking wastage in account)
So; you get several new rubbers for your daily RC needs for about 1
a piece
