Clever you Andrew…The elastic band method worked brilliant for me.

Yes it is a simple effective method I have found Lee.
Even better for me as our postman drops just the right sized ones all over our outside pavement regularly. Put them in a bowl of hot soapy water for 30 minutes. Leave to drain for an hour and hey presto....another 4 Derann features taken care of!

I find the 50mm long x 5mm wide ones work the best for the Grasso 600ft reels

The shame of it is if we were people with the skills and access to equipment making fake Elmo reels would actually be easy.

-as soon as you hire people with the skills and access to equipment it gets awfully pricey!

I have access to a billion dollar electron accelerator...is there anything we can do with this?

(-and not get me fired/imprisoned/irradiated?)

I'm guessing you aren't talking about either a gigantic Civil War soldier or baseball player.

Please explain!

Ha ha ha, no sir, a gigantic cast iron rotating steam drum used in the paper making industry.

Fabulous safety record at our plant though it has to be said. No LTA's for 10 years!
