In the eternal question, Rubber Bands Versus Pop Tops, Kreink comes firmly down on the side of pop tops! So do as they suggest and protect your metal threads from contact with rubber.

By the way, I was terribly embarrassed decades ago to realize that the reason I couldn't get the thread to come off the Kreinik spool is that I didn't know the top came up! Pretty funny now. Many thanks to the kind folks at the ANG email list who enlightened me as to the reason and solution.
As Kreinik says, "Safe and Sane Storage Forever!"
