I'm interested in the caulk tube sling, is there a list of instructions somewhere that i missed on how to make and use one. anything special about the cords or style that is required to use effectively?

Here is a little supplement to the pouch diagram on reply #86.

Ideally the retention point should be on the rear center line of the tube. Each cord is terminated in a “Y” which is attached at 2 points strengthened by metal grommets. The rear “Y” is made by first passing the retention cord through a rear grommet then the stopper tube and out the opposite grommet. Next a sufficient length of this is pulled through to give the “pouch” rotational clearance and then reattached to the rest of release cord to complete the “Y”. I would also knot this rear cord to keep it centered before and after it passed through the caulk tube. The little axle and trunnion formed in this way allows the "tube pouch" to rotate 90deg up. At the hand end both cords pass through swivels and ultimately join in a fashion to limit release cord travel.

In order for this “slide out”pouch to make sense it’s only reasonable that once the release is made that cord’s job is done and should stay out of the cast. Why would anyone, save for for nostalgia sake want the sling to double in length, flail around and tangle with nearby objects – animal, veg or mineral?

Even the literal sense of wanker (‘masturbator’) has lost much of its force in Australia. The Law Society Journal (NSW), March 2000, p. 88, reported on an interesting case in the Supreme Court of Victoria:

The Supreme Court of Victoria has held that it was not contempt of court for a solicitor, when served with an injunction, to say: ‘Justice Beach has got his hand on his dick’. The judge hearing the case held that by contemporary Australian standards, to call a judge a wanker is not in contempt of court. ... Justice Cummins wound up: ‘Finally I turn to whether, in the context I have defined, the words uttered by the defendant constitute contempt of court. The matter must be judged by contemporary Australian standards. It may be offensive, but it is not contempt of court, for a person to describe a judge as a wanker.

curious_aardvark, I find your name offensive, since it clearly implies that your aardvark is in fact bi-curious, and I am good christian homophobe, so I demand that you change or clarify that your aardvark is straight.

Looks like from this configuration of the sling and fin, that when slinging you have one string in front and one behind.

Im wondering if the fin could be attached to the string itself, rather than on the bottom of the cup.

Perhaps the fin could become part of the cup itself, as in the attached pic.
