I've recently been looking into tying ribbon and seems to be pretty good looking. But I have one problem. I shoot looped tubes and I have a flat band tying jig that I don't use for my tubes as it doesn't seem to work for them. It's a little red dankung band jig does anyone know a way to tie looped tubes with this jig? Or does anyone know a jig-free way of tying looped tubes with tying ribbon?

If this is the jig you have, this is how I tie tubesets with it. Hope this helps.

Yes that really helped cheers mate!

I had one of those dankung rig makes and had a lot of problems with the tubes slipping. I bought this one above off Ebay for about £1.30. The artery forceps were about £5 and slipped some 2040 tubing over the ends. Have no problems know with the tubing slipping.

That looks good. Could you send me the link to that product if possible?

I like the yellow ebay jigs too, here is a link to the one I bought.

Cheers mate. Would you advise to tie with cotton or with tying ribbon? Does the ribbon prolong band life?
