Theraband Data

Here's a thread on RCGroups where jackerbes goes into great detail about using 1/8'' slices of blue Theraband to make high quality prop savers.

Sparklet follows up and shows how they make good vibration dampers for quad photography.  He uses it to attach two bolts together

It seems that ebay vendor drdcsupplies is the goto guy for retail quantites of Theraband.  At the time of writing it's $1.50/foot postpaid for yellow (thin), red (medium), green (heavy), and blue (extra heavy).

Full specs and info are on the manufacturer's page.  Here are the physical dimensions of each kind of tubing:
