Default Ear buds?

TODR,

I would love to make some earbuds/ear plugs but, how do you mold the ear buds in place without the putty sticking to your ear????

Thanks

Should have put them into hockey and you would not have needed the earplugs.

Play Rugby. Actually fewer injuries than football (american). I guess when you aren't wearing all those sissy pads you learn to tackle better.

Alas, I don't think anyone around here plays rugby. My son has the benefit of a top notch college education, all for the price of doing what he loved most of all in the world... playing football.

Good link!!! Just ordered my wife an earplug kit for her birthday. Hey, it was cheaper than jewelry. Works for me.

Dale you'd be surprised. There is a LOT of Rugby in the US and more and more every year. One day soon the US will even have a decent team for the World Cup. When I moved here to finish high school there was a Rugby team. I played in College (U of Cinti), and down in the south there is a TON of rugger. There are 3 teams in Atlanta alone! I know its all over NE.
