Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the shelf life of your rubber tubing for slingshot?
A: When stored away from direct sunlight, ozone, and extreme temperatures in its original packaging, our latex tubing has a shelf life of 3-5 years. For optimal performance, we recommend using it within 2-3 years of manufacture.
Q2: How do I choose the right inner diameter and wall thickness?
A: Selection depends on your intended use. Thinner walls (e.g., 0.5mm) with smaller ammo are great for target shooting. Thicker walls (e.g., 1.0mm+) with larger IDs are for heavy hunting. We provide detailed selection guides and are happy to offer consultation based on your frame and projectile.
Q3: Do you offer custom colors or printing on the tubing?
A: Yes. Custom colors and simple branding are available for bulk orders meeting our Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ). Please contact our sales team to discuss your specific requirements.
Q4: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our standard MOQ for mixed or single-size orders is 100 meters. For custom specifications or branding, the MOQ may be higher. We strive to be flexible for new business partnerships.
Q5: How should the tubing be maintained for maximum life?
A: Avoid exposure to sunlight, oils, solvents, and excessive heat. Wipe clean with water if dirty and store relaxed (not stretched) in a cool, dark, dry place. Applying pure talcum powder before storage can prevent sticking.
