Neoprene rubber, an artificial rubber, is used to make stubby holders. Neoprene rubber uses microscopic air bubbles within the substance to trap interior temperature while shielding it from the outside temperature. The most frequent and well-liked use of neoprene material is in wetsuits. It is the perfect substance for maintaining the bottles where they need to be without losing the drinkable temperature because it is very light and buoyant, chemically resistant, waterproof, stretchable, and resistant to abrasion.

Stubby carriers are now available in a wide range of materials. They were initially constructed of Styrofoam but soon switched to Styrofoam with a plastic shell. This technique allowed the manufacturer to place the insulator on the inside and the branding on the outside. After a few years, neoprene, also known as bodysuit material, was used to create it. This provided much more insulation for the drink than the fixed foam stubby, which was never a snug fit, thanks to its elastic nature.

Ways to make stubby holders

Ways to make stubby holders

The following materials are required to create a stubby holder pack:

  • Most types of adhesive will work, but rubber glue performs best.
  • Neoprene rectangle that measures roughly 20.5 x 10.5 centimeters.
  • The foundation is a foam or neoprene circle.
  • Apply a thin line of glue along each edge of the soon-to-be stubby holder's neoprene rectangle. You must give the glue the necessary quantity of time to "tack up."
  • It takes the Kwikgrip glue about 30 minutes to become tacky enough to be used for creating a stubby holder.
  • The three books will be used to keep the stubby container together while it dries.
  • A heavy book should be placed on top of two books of the same size spaced about 10 centimeters apart to resemble a small bridge. To support the bridge while the glue dries, we'll slide our stubby holder underneath it.
  • Holding the stubby holder flat on the bench, press the neoprene sides together until the two faces of the adhesive are in contact.
  • The stubby holder won't blow open by sliding the neoprene under the bridge jig, which will keep it together while the glue sets. The stubby container will soon be prepared.
  • Apply some glue to the base's border similar to how you did with the neoprene. This time, smooth it out so that it doesn't look too globby. While we wait for our stubby holder to fully dry, let the base sit to gain tack.
  • Check to see if the stubby holder isn't trying to explode open and that the glue has completely hardened before carefully removing it from under the tiny bridge.

Conclusion

Seal the joint with a piece of heat tape while using a normal household iron or a hair iron. It is advised to take this action to keep everything tightly fastened and to help the glue relax.

The Beer Gauge is a neoprene stubby holder with three carefully positioned holes that allow you to see the level of the beer.
