Rubber Bands

Not that they are that expensive but can the rubber bands be used more than once to secure a top/back set on the MM before they should be discarded?

I have cans of #64's tied into different lengths (2/3/4 etc.) that I have been using for five or more years. Maybe I don't understand the question?

I was wondering if they stretched out too much after a single use to be used again but if you're using them for 5 years I guess they can be used for multiple builds.

If you put em on and they don't close the top up tight, add some more.

Yup to what both Kens said. I use rubber bands until they start looking dried out and cracked. That's when they break and snap my fingers. I store my rubber bands in zip lock bags to keep the air from oxidizing them.
