prop saver rubber band alternative for foamies?
Rather than using a rubber band on the prop saver on a small 3D foamie (4-10 oz), I used to have some very short cut pieces of medical tubing that worked great but I ran out and can't get more. What's something that's readily available and works well? Thanks.

You can get Medical tubing at Lowes or a Phamacy. Just cut into 1/8" strips. A foot of tubing goes a long way! O-rings are more expensive and don't last as long as they stretch. Surgical tubing has a lot of spring back to it.

Surgical quality rubber hose, of approx. 3/8" diam. is available in the plumbing section at Lowes. I believe it is used for hand held shower unit. I use a 1/4" peice on my indoor foamies; a little larger length on my GWS planes.
