Rubber

[Shirley]

I really love the HP 4 in 1, but even after having made several, I still cannot get the closing right without at least an hour of trial and error. I just can't seem to follow the tutorials! I also have made several barrel weaves which turned out quite cute.

I have used it to make stretchy Dragonscale cuffs. I am starting on a stretchy Euro 4-1 bra top next, I think!

Just asking - what do any of you use to condition the rubber rings for longevity? Some kind of oil? I've heard that you should do this but I've never tried.

I love how this rubber barrel turned out.

I've used it in Hyperlinks kits so far, but I want to try it in HP 3 in 1 and helm.

Blue Buddha recommends tire shine or Armorall. Spray it, put it in a Baggie and rub it around until it's all covered and then rinse it in hot water and dry with a towel. Don't let it air dry or it will be sticky.

Pamela Lunsford , I've never heard that before, but it definitely sounds logical. Plus the fact if @Blue Buddha is suggesting it, I'm sure it's a good suggestion

I just ordered my first batch of rubber rings from B3 and I am eager to work with them. I had some years ago and didn't like them at all but things must have changed. The ones I had would never have stood up to the abuse I see people put them through.

I like Roundmaille because it makes a really funky bangle.

Aerospace Protectant 303 is the best thing to use. It comes in big bottles but I have some that I put into smaller spray bottles. It is safe and non toxic. It will not harm the rubber or you.
