Having obtained some 3/8-inch wide braided elastic rubber, I have
started using this around my "O" rolls.  To the want of a better device,
I have joined together the band with two staples, and then using pliers
to crimp a little more, but not too much.  The tension of the elastic
is just adequate to keep the paper tight, as too much will put
unnecessary strain thereby shortening its life.

I thank the person who brought up this subject and others, because an
improvement has been made to the roll storage situation.
