Moonshadow replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"Lantern Smith is vending at Kinetic Fire next week, so I'm excited to try out one of their bubble ring hoops! I've been wanting a new hoop to try and work on more off body flow."
Jessica Harris replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"So hey! Lanternsmith sent me the new bubble ring! I made a quick video. This is the FIRST TIME I've used it and I compared it in a little double hooping with a 36" polypro. I have barely picked it up so its not my…"
Susan replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"Well that would've been nice to know before I collapsed it haha. Do and learn I guess :P"
"Yeah the bubblering I purchased from lanternsmtih has a metal connection. I'm assuming its aluminum but I really have no clue. I can collapse that hoop too so that's probably the way to go. "
Susan replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"We are going to try metal connectors next. Aluminum is the best bet for lightness but not sure if it can withstand the polycarb. :)"
"Oh maaan that sucks! I'm super surprised that the polycarbonate connection bent like that. I thought that stuff wasn't supposed to happen because the material is so strong. I haven't made my hoops yet so…"
Susan replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"I bought 30ft of clear polycarb from hoopsupplies and the xxs quick releases they provide. I made a 30"OD hoop and I really like it (29" ID 5/8 polypro is my usual). It was definitely a pain to work with though because it doesn't like…"
Jessica Harris replied to the discussion 'A new way to hoop! Polycarbonate bubble ring by LanternSmith'"OH! I meant November 2012! Last year. So its only been 5 months since I first bought it. Oops.

Sunshine Solar Flair said… Haha! Right! It totally is! I actually found it on ebay for $5.99 a roll; but it is only 25 ft. long, compared to 150. But the price and length actually even out to the different of 3 dollars. I have one more question for you, if you don't mind. I heard mirror tape can start to curl up on the edges. Have you made a hoop just out of the fire opal tape? If so, did you have to wrap is with a clear vinyl? Thank you so much!!
Peace, Love and Light.

Hello there! How are you doing? I saw your comment on a picture of a pair of mini's wrapped with fire opal tape. Where did you order yours from?
Thank you!
Peace, Love and Light.
