Hi all, does anyone know where I can get dental rubber bands? I use them for holding my guides in place, but since I only build a few rods per year, I don't need huge quantities. thanks for any information. Jim

i had the same problem that you have and went a different route. i build fly rods so i do not need big rubber bands. i bought rubber tubing from Clemons in two different sizes and cut them in small pieces. that way i can use the smallest for the top sections and switch to the next size for the lower sections. i did not answer your question but it may be an alternative.

Chase down a kid wearing braces. They can give you what you need since they get free replacements. I really like these things.

The tiny rubber bands work great for placing the guides on
the blank. Just put it over the ring, wrap it around the blank a time or two & secure over the ring again. Then any adjustments are easy to make. When you have wrapped over part of the foot just touch the rubber band with a razor blade and it pops off. Almost as good as a
third hand! We have found a source for these and will soon have them, in assorted sizes available for sale at Summer Moon.

Jim,
We now have the dental bands in stock at Merrick Tackle. Ask your retailer to get them for you! Scott
