This review is from: Big Band Large Capacity Rubber Bands, Heavy-Duty, 1/8"x7", Red, 12/Pack ALL00700 (Electronics)

I'm an enthusiast of rubber band shooting and large rubber bands tend to be very accurate and very reliable, though hard to find in normal retailers. That's why I ordered these. In general, these are the best I used so far. They are durable and powerful. So far not one has showed any signs of wear. They can be stretched about an arm's length and I can shoot one accurately for over forty feet. Some other details- they come with a very thin semi-slippery coating of something that goes away very quickly and they do not smell strongly, If you need good rubber bands for shooting, these are a definite choice.

I Really like the service I got from this company. I use the bands around my cat's litter box and medium waste cans. They are very flexible and strong. Thank you Amazon.

Ever try to clamp up a box with mitered corners? Then ya know its a real pain trying to do it with conventional style clamps.
Masking tape and rubber bands are the answer. Lay your pieces, mitered side down, slide the edges together as tight as you can and use masking tape to hold them in position. Flip the taped assembly over and apply your glue to one side of each joint. If you are using a bottom that fits in a dadoe, put it in one of the long sides. Now roll the other sides up and around the bottom, and tape the final corner. Lay the box down on its bottom and stretch the rubber bands around your box. Depending on the size of the box you may put as many as twenty or thirty bands on it. The bands exert equal pressure all around the box and pull it square (if your joints are square of course). I have made hundreds of boxes of all sizes using this method and have never had one fail to glue up properly. This method makes it a one man job and is quick. Much faster and easier than using band clamps and you can control the pressure by adding rubber bands till you get the "squeeze" you are looking for. Not to mention how inexpensive these "clamps" are. There are even larger bands out there...ya have to look for em. Office Depot has a good selection and can sometimes find 12-15" bands for you. When you find the big ones buy a lot of them, as they do break after repeated use and you do get glue on em. Still an inexpensive way to go. I have hundreds of them, in varying sizes and keep em in zip locks. Give this method a try, you'll like it. Highly recommend.
