[SML] Razor Wire

[Richard John Archer]

Yes we tried the twist ties first. Rubber bands were fatter and gave a better appearance for us.    Audience walked right next to fence…although it was about 8' tall then the "barbed" wire above that.    Bands easy to tie and then maybe come back and trim with scissors.

Bought some barbless wire (from Home Depot?  or Tractor Supply?…around 12 ga)  and proceeded to make our own "barbs" using rubber bands spray painted silver. …... experimented with a few sizes, cut them apart and tied them with a granny knot leaving the ends protrude as the "barbs".  Sniped the ends at an angle to look "sharp".    Actually looked good both up close and further away.  Added the barbs after we strung the wire.
