Brutalform Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I’m starting to collect the little round rings from my family’s electric toothbrushes. You can prime them, then paint them with “rubber black” paint, and they make a great scale foam seal for max wedge and Hemi air cleaners.

SoDak1 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Interesting tip! Do you think they have enough stretch to be used as pulley belts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are rigid just like styrene tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LL3 Model Worx Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I have a (real) hardware store in town that carries every size rubber o-ring imaginable! I'm gonna swing by there and see what I can't come up with! Like the toothbrush idea though, sadly I have no electrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
