Don't try this at home.
The rubberband broke yesterday. It feels crumbly to the touch, like a rubberband that's been sitting in a drawer for 10 years. Just three weeks in a little hot sun and some cold weather.
Live and learn. I'll start using garden twine to hold the plastic in place.

I use punctured 700c inner tubes for bicycles. First I cut on either side of the stem (air valve) then fold the tire in half and cut it in two. I then use a square knot to fasten the tube around the bucket. Bicycle Shops just throw the inner tubes away so just ask your local shop if they could save you some.Thanks David!
Sincerely,
David
