Jim,

$4.00 and a few cents for a bunch of them at Harbor freight, I think and
am not sure, but they are re-usable.  There looks to be at least 10 in a
pack, I am in Salt Lake City and not at home in Norcal, otherwise I
would take a look.  Of course we are talking Chinese SS and if my SS dog
drinking bowl made in China is anything to go by:)

Of course, I can not find the SS tie wraps on the Harbor freight web
site. 

I am going to use them up on the boom with tape underneath them.

 SS Ty-wraps are pricey, about $2/each, last time I checked them. Also,
the
kind I saw can't be removed without cutting them, Because they're very
flat,
cutting them isn't easy if they're tightly wrapped around a bundle.

I see that good old Harbor Freight has stainless Steel tie wraps; they
would definitely be UV proof.  I picked a pack up to try some; the only
problem may be sharp edges.

I just bought a couple of bags of UV-resistant Ty-Wraps at Home 
Depot. The mfr is Catamount, which is apparently owned by Thomas and 
Betts. Does anyone have experience with products like this? Several 
years ago I bought some no-name blue tywraps that the vendor claimed 
were UV resistant, and they fell apart after only a few months in the 
sun.
