I can see if I can take a photo of them for you and send via Facebook---maybe message me to remind me. I found they were stronger for my ends, and help up to the slip of my hair if I was riding and using a braid (lately I've been bunning with those phone cord type elastics)Darkhorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330160434456876437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304537496073354773.post-37075084712367837362018-11-28T16:14:55.768+01:002018-11-28T16:14:55.768+01:00Plastic fuel tubes that soften and deteriorate plu...Plastic fuel tubes that soften and deteriorate plugging the carburetor has been a big problem in small engines.

I don't think I've ever seen coated elastics that are small enough that they wouldn't need to go around my braid 172 times. How big are they?Lady Igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06451836583153403025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304537496073354773.post-91578432090501131852018-11-27T22:15:39.123+01:002018-11-27T22:15:39.123+01:00Hmm!

Of course now I have thrown the packaging away and the website is no help. <br />That would explain why the same brand has such a big difference in the quality.

I have no idea how people use them unless they tie off really weak braids because I went through about 20 before I went back to using thread to braid manes. I went with a more traditional hair tie that are coated, but no metal pieces. I also find these slip off my ends way easier, but likely because my ends are slippery from product used to keep my hair looking less like a fluff ball :D Darkhorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330160434456876437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304537496073354773.post-22997320923075042032018-11-23T17:29:05.116+01:002018-11-23T17:29:05.116+01:00I'm curious as to where they are manufactured....I'm curious as to where they are manufactured.<br />I assume most come from China?<br />My experience is that their quality control on polymers is erratic.<br />(I know this from fuel tubes on small power equipment engines).indi500fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276763587825598217noreply@blogger.com
