lincoln II + question

I have an elastic band, when I stretch it too far it breaks. I have gone through several elastic bands now, and I don't understand what the problem is, why my elastic bands don't perform to my specifications. Is there something I can do to modify the limits of the elastic band, regardless of physics? Edit: Is there something I can do to pretend nothing is wrong, that the elastic band is not about to break?
point is?
 
He's having an original thought; sort of like "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear". It implies that inferiority of the product limits it's function or modification of function.
thought he was winding rubber bands up to run his power supply
