Wish I could help you, but I am working on a project myself, but the catch to my project is, I must smoke every cigar for the band. I am converting an old refridgerator into the ultimite coolerdor, just waiting on the wood. It will be completely covered in bands. I have been saving my bands for 7 years, and wish you luck with your project, I knew those bands would come in handy someday.
Hey Guys Help That Brother Out.
Later
Dave
P.S. Sorry about the thread jack, good luck with your project.
