An effective substitute to plastic pellets

An effective substitute to plastic pellets.

With the volatility of oil prices these days, plastic pellets have become difficult to come by. 

We have found a great substitute for them that actually works better!  Rubber bands.

I prefer the wider style (#64) as they are easier to work with.  In reality, all sizes will work great.

Like the pellets, they are reusable in the same grit or polish they were originally used in.

Unlike pellets, they don’t float.  But because of their size they are easily separated from the stones.

Good Luck Tumbling!
