    Graph Cover Straps

    How many of you all have had your graph covers blow off while driving down the rod? I know there are all kinds of options out there, but here is one that is not only velcro, bit is also elastic and is adjustable and very inexpensive. I found them at Lowes.

    Bungees with the balls. Much easier on and off. Velcro kept sticking to everything, itself, caps, gloves,

    I also use those Velcro straps. They're also available at Walmart in the craft section.
