My AHM SW-1 is missing its traction tires and it runs like monkey poo. Are traction tires available or do you guys trowel on RTV Black Silicone? Or Bullfrog Snot?

The smallest size Goody clear hair bands that are available at Walmart work okay, but tend to be a little uneven. Calumet (formerly Stewarts) still makes them, tho they are pricier.

I've been using the old Stewart replacements for years,....I've got a good supply tho......Now they're under another name (Sadly my memory isn't helping me here) But they work well! (Someone, ANYONE, please chime in on what the new name is for the Stewart replacements) 
As for the Goody bands, I still have to look for these but its to damned hot to travel in my car as the AC needs recharged....I will have some when I can stand to go outside in a day or so!
