YOu can't get it tight enough in my opinion ((I tried once out of desperation!) and
when you want to open the bag to clear a clog, or to tighten the henna, it's a pain in
the you-know-what. Think watertight - I haven't been able to get a rubber band that
tight, and a foil tie is SO much easier to get tighter.
Also the paper twist ties don't work very well for me - they break after the first or
second twisting, and you're left working with plain metal, trying to twist it with bare
hands. No thank you!
I spent all that time writing about the twist ties and the tape cause I'm trying to save
people from wasting their time, and I know Kree isn't on here very often.
If rubber bands or couplers work for you, that's cool, but four years of using these
tools have shown, in my experience, that they don't work for me, and caused
explosions of henna everywhere.
