How much rubber do I get in a pack?

Can I cut these rubber bands to size?

Troubleshooting
Rubber bands break easily during stretching
Ensure you are not overstretching beyond the natural elasticity of the band. Check for nicks or cuts on the band. If multiple bands break, they might be old or exposed to adverse conditions; consider using a fresh band from the pack.
Bands are sticky or melt together
This can happen if stored in high temperatures or humidity. Separate them gently. Store future batches in a cooler, drier environment. If severely affected, they may be unusable.
Rubber band leaves marks on surfaces
This is more common with prolonged contact or with certain finishes. Ensure the band is not left on a sensitive surface for extended periods, especially in warm conditions. Wipe the surface after removing the band if marks are observed.
