Re: Durability of tetras
After the stuggle to find end caps that actually fit and enough of them to make like 12 tetras, we have only broke one or two at practice, and we too are using the pvc glue, but those clovers snap easily, our mentor broke one in his hand, and we broke several of them dropping a single tetra. We machined our own and those didn't work either, so when we saw the plumbers tape idea we used it and combined with the glue they were among the only tetras at the Corvallis Scrimmage to not take a large beating.
We however did take some of the weaker tetras and break them apart accidently many times. But in the last 5 or 6 matches we competed in we learned how not to break the tetras, slow non sudden movements and not dropping them leads to a good scrimmage.
