Fragile 1/8” rubber
From: Aram Schlosberg
A quick and dirty way to discover fragile rubber is to tie a few hard overhand knots with dry rubber as it comes out of the box.
I happen to have be preparing 2011 1/8” rubber and one overhand rubber knot just snapped. Later, the rubber proved to be very fragile and the entire segment landed in the garbage. Don’t know whether this also applies to stripped 1/16” rubber straight out of the box.
