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.

Interesting tip! Do you think they have enough stretch to be used as pulley belts? 

They don’t stretch. They are rigid just like styrene tube.

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.

Get one, cut off the bristles, and attach wet/dry sandpaper to it.
