Your local medical suppier (supplies Dr's offices, therapists,
hospitals, etc) will have them. Not all of these suppliers sell
products to individuals. Your local well stocked drug store may have
them on the shelf, ... not sure. Check the prices a therapist would
sell them to you for. Anything tagged "medical" will be expensive.
I've used auto inner tube strips (cut myself), also. These leave
blacken marks on your wood a little, but not too much. Wash with soap
and water before first use, after that, no need to wash them. Try them
to see what I mean about blackening your wood. Over a time of about 2
yrs, inner tubing dry rots. Glue is rarely a problem, but avoid glue
sticking to any rubberized strips by shielding your glued areas with
newsprint or paper towels.
Go to a janitorial supply distributor. Ask for Little Red Liner Lovers.
Yep, that isn't a typo. They are made for holding garbage can liners where
they fold over the top of the can. It really just a big rubber band. We
sell them for $0.15 ea.

They are usually expensive [a Physio place is a licence to print
money.] They deteriorate in sunlight. I'd not like to clean the glue
off them. How much is tubing?
