I still do bundling with it - when I make my own cables and when I install
bundles of Cat5/5e/6 (really messes with new techs to see that holding the
fixed wiring into place, they have never seen it).
I think I still have 3 or 4 rolls of the waxed flat cord left - when we
closed Chanute a whole box was headed for the dumpster - and I bought
another from DRMO at the next base a year later ($3.50 for the whole case of
12). From time to time you can find it listed on ebay too alomg with the P38
can openers.

The P38's are easier to locate though.
