Title: Dental Bands
Post by: Bootlegger on November 18, 2007, 11:50:42 AM: Hello Fellow's, I am looking for a small supplier of various size dental rubber bands that orthidontest's use. In particular 1/4" to 3/8" sizes.
I'm not needing more that 25-50 of each size. I plan to use them for keepers on the stocking - panty hose type air filters.
Does anyone have some suggestions ? Thanks, Gil

We also use these bands to hold expandable broadheads in place when hunting, you might try Walgreen's or some other pharmacy in your area.

Just be sure they're Neoprene, so fuel won't eat them up (like rubberbands). I know I can go into our local fastener store and buy one of any size I want, cheap. Check around your area. Don't overlook plumbing stores, if that's all you can find. H^^ Steve
