[Shop-talk] Rubber bungee cords

[eric at megageek.com]

Here is a quick question,  is there anyway to prolong the life of one of 
those common black rubber bungee cords?

My wood processor has custom made ones that dry rotted after about 5 years 
of indoor storage.  They aren't expensive, but it's a pain to have to 
order them.

Is there something I can put on them (an oil or silicone or something) to 
prevent them from dry rotting?  Also, should I leave them without tension 
when not in use?

Thanks in advance for any help.
