5/3: I made a histogram of the fiber color codes, and orange is our most used elastic color with a count of 221. I would think if we order 350 orange elastics that should be enough. We just need to cover 7 regular bundles and however many spares we will finally need. Assuming 6 colors in a package and equal numbers of each color, we will have to order 2,100 elastics.

Jim said the elastics can't go too far from the end because there is some kind of material that would not allow it. Nor should they be too close to the end since we have to put the fibers through the chimneys. Putting the closest one six inches from the end might be all right. I would rather have them farther from the end in case they need to be bundled again, though. We need to figure out where to put those elastics.
