Dahil ang hirap maghanap ng mahaba-haba at matibay-tibay na elastic bands para sa DIY shock mount projects, here's a tip: Goody Stayput brand, yung pangtali ng buhok na nabibili sa PCX Personal Care Exchange store sa Rockwell Mall. They come in different lengths and thicknesses, na may wrap-around rubber reinforcement pa around the main elastic. It generally costs more than your usual pangtali ng buhok na P20-40; in fact it cost me P479.75 in a set of four, pero at least I have extra bands (you will get 3-5 extra, depending on the particular set), that I may need only after years of service, I'm betting - it looks like it was made to last, and may even be better than the stock bands that came in my Audio-Technica AT-8410 shockmount anyway. Looks downright funky too.
