I think it's more like "The smallest rubber I can cut is too big. How the h*** can I get a smaller piece?"
And BTW - I've had that conversation with myself and didn't come up with an answer.
Has anyone ever tried to strip rubber from surgical tubing? I've cut some orings for electric motor props from it and can attest that it is really tough.

I constantly marvel at what some of you folks are able to do (70 mg
biplane). Were you sitting one day and thought "What if I glued 2 pieces
of rubber together and then cut it" ?<G>
