I have a tear in one of my bands. Has anyone found a quick fix? I was going to use ducktape?

Duct tape won't work. Call Black Mountain and they will replace it since they have a quality guarantee.

I don't think duck tape will work. But you can call Black Mountain for a replacement band. I was given a replacement band free of charge.

Though I have never encountered the tear problem you mention, if I did I would buy CLEAR FLEXSEAL , and buy DOUBLE SIDE EASY RELEASE DRAFTING TAPE, tape off the area about the tear 1" on all edges, protect the rest of the surfaces with news paper cutout to limit overspray, then spray 3 or 4 very light coats over the repair area allowing the full cure time between coats. I have given up on breast forms because my goal was to have breasts that give me the feeling of natural breasts. All of the glues do not work. and damage the lining. I have finally grown my own Breasts. I was a 40 AA, and now I am a 40 D looking to take the cup size as far as I can before I go the next step to reduce belly fat so I will have both breasts and a waist.

Yes. but I would definitely use a patch for extra strengh. If it's a tear try and patch inside and out. Good Luck.

I have exactly the same problem. I put two bands on at a time--one next to the other. That helps but doesn't completely solve the problem.

In a pinch, you can improvise by wrapping your band around any object that is much too large to fit through the door and will not scratch the door ( a rolled-up towel will work, and you can put a knot in some cord material and make a loop ) and use this for any kind of stretching (it's best to do this on the side that does NOT open towards you -- both to keep you from pulling the door open, and in case anyone else may open the door by mistake).

I got that band at first, too, (along with the paper jam notice others have commented on), but after trying repeatedly, and re-installing with excruciating attention to the installation directions, it seemed to cure itself. Now it works like a charm.

I used a piece of tape. If your tape bleeds too much light, put a piece of foil in between. Easy enough

Use rubbing alcohol instead of water, wait about 5 minutes. Good to go. If it does pull off repeat and wait a little longer, depends on the temperature and humidity, keep it in the sun when you change. Doubt you will have to worry about it, The bands will show signs of fatigue well before they break, just change them when you see pitted or cracked rubber.

They tear fine for us Joe - it's actually the type of roll we have on there now, however, I'd suggest looking at a different dispenser. This one is more of a hassle than anything!

I use rubberbands. The first try using the self stick backing did not last that long. For the second try I hot glued it which was fine untill I had to open up the phantom shel l(what a mess).Yeah rubberbands.

I would say yes. I actually still have to wrap the band around at least on one hand. You shouldn't have a problem at all : )

Cut off old band off with razor knife and scrap off old glue and sand smooth this will also help to hold stronger new band in place better I've had them slip off before and that sucks! Be safe and have fun!:-)

I also haven't had a problem, neither with breakage nor stretching, and I use the colored bands exclusively. My original band is green, but I've been using the navy blue band as my go-to for a few months now. I think it's probably worth the expense of getting a new band and perhaps with each battery charge switching bands to give each a chance to rest between uses. Just a thought....

I've looked everywhere for a replacement, but couldn't find one. But, like the other guy suggested, you could make your own. My favorite material is kydex. You can buy kydex sheets along with other materials you need on Amazon. Not too hard to make...YouTube can explain it all! Haha

I had a small hole in my Patagonia down jacket and I did not want to send it out for repair through them (it can take up to 30 days to get products back from them when sent out for repair). Patagonia suggested that I patch the hole with Tenacious Tape. I took their advice and the patch has worked perfectly. I would recommend for smaller holes/tears. Hope this helps!

I only had leaking once, when one of the bands came loose and the top came off. You have to periodically buy new bands so they don't get stretched out, they are cheap so it's not a big deal.

if you need the green band, that would be the fast twist. Other options are Q-fit and Small Metal. Feel free to call us 1-800-367-8912 for further inquires.
