It's comfortable and I think will hold up well. the spot where they hang from the wire creates a little bit of a bump, but it doesn't contact your nose so it isn't a problem. We are still looking for the right cord and I think it will get tied on to that spot anyway. I like your idea of using the Sugru. I think it might be a bit faster to assemble. I wonder how it holds up in the long run?<br />Alec and Sharonbpfamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826347854888161732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677104121390019941.post-5722513976633784922012-10-24T01:41:25.533-05:002012-10-24T01:41:25.533-05:00I kind of considered Plasti Dip for my nose clips ...I kind of considered Plasti Dip for my nose clips but I thought it would be too runny; nice to see that I was wrong.<br />In your pictures you show the Plasti Dip creating a little "bump" where is resting on the wire while curing. Do you cut that bit away once the paint is hard? or it is where the lanyard is attached and doesn't matter anyway?<br />gnarlydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783031534973509076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677104121390019941.post-12024755487489973792012-10-23T16:32:10.428-05:002012-10-23T16:32:10.428-05:00Hey Bryan, stainless steel spokes sound good, but ...Hey Bryan, stainless steel spokes sound good, but harder to bend and more costly. We decided to use the inexpensive galvanized wire which was $8.00 for 100'. Each clip only uses 4" of wire, so that's a lot of nose clips even if they eventually break. We looked at the tip for making your own moldable silicone clay. Very cool! The Plasti Dip works well and is durable, but we suspect the silicone clay would be easier, and take less time. We will try that and see how they compare. Thanks for the tip.<br />Alec and Sharonbpfamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826347854888161732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677104121390019941.post-12784184972211683832012-10-23T11:02:54.930-05:002012-10-23T11:02:54.930-05:00A closer look at the photos tells me that it is &q...A closer look at the photos tells me that it is "Multi-purpose Wire, Galvanized Utility Wire - 14 Gauge". <br /><br />I used Gnarlydog's method using a mixture of silicone and cornstarch for the pads. Don't laugh, it works! <br />http://gnarlydognews.blogspot.ca/2011/10/diy-nose-clip-for-rolling.html<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BryanBryan Sarauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501746182504085427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677104121390019941.post-84792775496225601692012-10-23T10:36:55.161-05:002012-10-23T10:36:55.161-05:00What type of wire was used?

It worked well. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BryanBryan Sarauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501746182504085427noreply@blogger.com
