Hi,
I just ran out of my pack of #64 Hobbico Rubber Bands. Being lazy, i did not want to get another pack.
Its common knowledge that rubber bands can be made out of cycle tubing too.
(Thanks to Harshit Batra for reminding me)
So i tried to give it a shot.
What you need:
Cycle tubing (your neighbor's cycle is a good and recommended source)
SR 998 Rubber based adhesive ( SR998:SPADDers::Honey:Honeybee)
Ruler, Pair of Scissor and a Balcony with plants and insects.

☣ Cut desired sections of the tubing in smaller cylinders.
☣ Cut the hollow cylinders along the height
☣ Then Cut rubbers of desired lengths {Lim_neatness->0 f(neatness)}
☣ Paste the ends with SR 998 (carefully follow the back instructions)[

One section gives about 8-10 rubber Bands.
One Complete tube will reap around 35-40 rubbers (in my case and taking wastage in account)
So; you get several new rubbers for your daily RC needs for about 1 a piece
Regards

That's a beautiful model Prabal and that's an ingenious solution too.
I can see that preparing for the JEE has taken over your everyday life as well

All the best

The model was built by Harshit.
He gave it to my on my B'day.
I do not like plain white planes.
Prep for JEE has taken over my everyday life, yes!

Thanks

Or, you could save yourself from all this work, buy the cycle valve rubber, in long lengths, and use that

Good idea!
Will give that a try too.
Right now, I have more than 30rubbers.
Enough for this year.
