i'm trying to figure out and want to know how small guide foot is ? and i'm trying to looking for somethings to placement and adjust w/o use tape or a glue before wrap but will need to find way to adjust the guide with anythings ?

try that

This is interesting as I've tried to contact a supplier in the States from @#$%& who has yet to reply after a week. he asked me what ounce I wanted, which I dont understand, surely if I need 3/8" bands that should be enough information?
Phil.

Phillip, the "ounce" part would be how strong the rubber bands are...i.e., the amount of force they apply.

Josh,
Check out the big @#$%& site. I have picked up quite a variety of different bands that work very well for this.

Another easy choice is to simply pick up surgical rubber hose and use a razor blade to slice it up into narrow sections. Many different drug stores, medical supply stores etc. have large supplies of surgical rubber tubing on hand.

Take care
Roger

Thanks Russ,
But I'm still not sure what the range is.
Phil.

Most hobby shops will have small silicone fuel line for Cox 1/2A engines (about 1/32" ID). That works. Cut bands with a razor blade.

Your dentist will have .1" dental bands. Mine gave me a free sample.

Josh,

I have been using brass wire (28) gauge to attach micro guides with out a problem. It will tighten just enough and still allow a little movement.
Once you have the threads tie down the guide foot use nail clippers to remove the wire. To each his own, good luck.

I use these in "HEAVY" weight:

I use # 18 rubber bands, they are strong enough to use for test casting before wrapping and are available at any office supply place, Office Depot or Staples.
