Scud Back substitute

I've tried it and like it. It is called stretch magic at Hobby Lobby and they have it mostly in clear although I did find some in black. It is round not hollow or D rib. Smallest I have seen is .5mm. It is stretchy and strong and is good for midges down to size 20. Give it a try. I think you will like it.

Try using the anti static bags that computer components come in. Great effect. If you are really lucky, you can get them in a bronze colour.

Cheers,

You guys just made my day. I'm going to the sewing store now. Guys would look at me funny when I worked at sportsman's and told them to go to the sewing store for certain things we didn't have and you guys out did me because I didn't think of those straps. Oh and you Ziploc people made me realize that my hooks came in a Ziploc so we're gtg.  

All that said you can dye almost anything to any color with fruit. Want purple? I guarantee you'll get it with some nice dark cherries or a cheap bottle of wine, lol. Seriously look into it

Dyeing material is not only about color. You also need consistency from batch to batch. That means you need a way to control both color and color saturation.
