That bungee that Ace and other places sell (white with blue flecks

Unfortunately I have been unable to find a better alternative. I know
they make it because I have some solid blue covered bungee from a
Mighty Mite luggage cart that has lasted years right next to the white
stuff. It seems to have a nylon jacket.


Sailrite has shock cord with a nylon cover

That looks like nice stuff but I would like to find some around 7/16
or half.
I guess I should google it up but I was hoping to find some locally.


Maybe an upholstery or canvas shop?
