Possibly for some, but that boom used at least 60 (most of which were
previously unused), probably half were grey, and I couldn't hold the boom
horizontally with the grey ones on the bottom (it would bend and fail), but
with them on the top, it was fine.
I also noticed just slipping them on & off there were some that were "very"
loose, though this may have been from previous use. I didn't use these in
the final model, but it still exhibited the described behaviour.

| (...) A quick test with two lt grey joiners and three of other colors could not confirm your results. 1 lt grey was loose, the other was quite tight. Could it be that you have used your lt greys more than your other colors, and they are more worn? (22 years ago, 25-Oct-02, to lugnet.technic)
