A Word of Caution

Just a word of caution. Anything that is elastic has a lot of potential energy when stretched. If it breaks bad things can happen. I know of a gentleman who lost most of the vision in one eye when an execise band broke. That being said = I use old bike tires when laminating paddle blanks.
