Further to my previous post,Dykema Rubber Band Co. makes a size 84 (3 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/32") which is probably perfect.

I like Todd Stocks' use of golf tees to wrap the rubber around. How about making an upper caul slightly smaller than the dimensions of the top or back and duplicate the golf tee idea so that you can use thick elastic bands to pull in the bindings.I am sure these would be cheap, and placed every 3/4" or so you could apply very even pressure all the way around.You could do a simple test to see how much they would have to be stretched to accomplish your goal.


Those are 2" deck screws, IIRC. Golf tees won't work.

Thanks' Steve, your probably right. You want something that will hold at least 5-10 lbs. of force.

You can tell that winter is getting to me when I start seeing golf tees instead of screws !
