There are 4 things I look for in my elastics, these are:
strength, stretch, smoothness and life span. In all departments the Cenex
Reflex seems out perform all its rivals with ease.
The Cenex Reflex Elastics come in 5 different colours, which
differentiates the diameters and strengths as the table below shows.

How to attach both Gum and Dacron Connectors
1. Thread the elastic through the bottom end loop on the
connector.
2. Tie a figure of eight knot.
3. Moisten the knot and pull tight (Moistening should prevent damage and also keep the knot central in the loop).
4. Pull the Gummy sheath down over the knot.
5. Trim off the loose end.
6. The end product.
