They are typically nylon, and are used to secure wires to harness points under dashboards and the like. No rusting possible, and I get ones which are 3/16 - 1/4 wide (usually 10 - 12 inches long) to get enough gripping force. I've worried they would come loose, but I've had some on a sprayskirt bungee for two years. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu May 13 1999 - 19:49:30 PDT
