Is soaking the clips in water a myth?
I’ve heard it helps them to stretch without snapping so soon but I’ve never bothered to try it. I do notice in the winter months that the cold plastic is more brittle so it makes sense that warmer plastic will be less brittle.

Rubi used to say to soak . They didn't say warm water I've never understood soaking an impermeable product .

2 shops in my little town sell flat bottomed clips . The next little town sells a different make of flat clips . Maybe look harder I don't know but I heard london is pretty big .
