I've worked hard to get this effect 'down' but my rubber bands from the dollar store just were not cutting job, I had not received any rubber bands with the effect. So I ordered 100 of these blue and orange band and they work superbly and allow to get the 'feeling or knack' that is required to do the effect!

Buy a bunch of refills to make it worth your shipping!!!

Personally I found these rubberbands great to use for other rubberband effects other then melting point. And because the price is awesome I buy 1 refill a week just incase penguin stop selling them.

The rubber band really streches well, and it is really cheap! The only bad thing about this product is that it doesn’t have flat pack shipping. But other than yhat it is amazing! Save your shipping and buy a bunch of them!

These are really nice in quality and durability. Also not so pricey

I have not taken the time too learn Melting Point. I instead use these rubber bands for crazy mans hand cuffs and other rubber band effects. I feel the colors stick out well enough that people in the back of an audience can see what your doing. You can practice until your perfect and you should, but in the end you want the spectators too see what's going on. These aren't your flesh colored bundle pack rubber bands ( witch are great for close up). When you want to perform the same close up effects for say 200 people from one standing points, these bands work. Buy them try them out and watch your spectators jaws drop.
