Thanks Dumpster. That may actually be a way for me to use the larger SeMar bands - they look very much like they're cut from scrap inner tubes. I'll try knotting and see how it fits.
Thanks Lynne; We may have gotten an odd size from SeMar. The small ones just slide gently off the AL40 when I stand it up. I'll measure tonight and post a number.

I had the same issue I think with those ones, from a link someone else gave to Lynne. The small ones were good for AL80s and the medium were good for
nothing if I recall correctly. Both sizes were looser than I usually like it on the 40s, especially as I place the lower band below the "handle" so it needs to be snug on just the tank.
I also dont like mine too tight (I have used some DiveRite ones before on 80s that I needed both hands and almost had to "stand" on the tank with my fins to operate)
I have had nothing but irksomeness with the round bungee no matter what "attachment" is used to stop it rolling up/down the tank (it always does) and I dont like to tie knots in flat rubber or bungee to make a loop as it's just something that's bound to fail at the one time you'd rather it didn't.
That may sound overly picky but once you start to add stages, what is a small annoyance with one bottle suddenly gets more frustrating.
I think I used to use wheelbarrow innertubes for 40s, but I dont remember if there was a particular size that worked the best
