New cable ties not as stiff as last batch

[gem]

A happy update:  Milord went to two Home Depots today, searching for my old Malco brand cable ties, and he found them!!  Huzzah!  I didn't know he'd actually found them, or I'd have told him to stock up... but at least we have one new package!

It is strange because it seems like Home Depot changes what they carry willy nilly.  Sometimes they have the right cable ties and other times they don't... even at the same Home Depot. Consistency would be nice.

It's almost like they're not aware of people using them as costume boning!

My mother was trying to explain what I ws using the duct tes for at my local Ace Hardware...I just put my head in my hands and laughed to myself.

I know I'm bumping this topic, but have any of ya'll considered buying online? I'm looking to start a new bodice once things calm down a little here at school and I was looking online for cable ties and found this

is $15 for 50 250lb tensile strength cables a good deal (of course not taking into account shipping...)
