I have experimented with a few different brands.  Out of all that I tried, I found that Helmsman band works the best.  I redid my H260 and H31 and both showed no wear or fading even after three years.  And better yet, you can get it at either Home Depot or Lowes.  Comes in a green can.  I highly recommend it.   Michael, M-17  #652, Pepperjack www.svpepperjack.net
