Questions & Answers
If a knife, razor blade, or scissors are sharp, they won't have problems. However, if you are looking to cut with ease, heat is your best friend. You can use a torch to heat a nail that you have placed in a pair of vice grips. That will go through with no problem.
There is no hollow or tube type of braid. It is solid all the way through. My experiences with it have been good, and I have used it for a lot of different purposes. Using near high heat is obviously not a good idea. This is the ideal product if you are working underwater a lot.
To that end, I think spectra would be overkill. This is much too expensive. I use paracord for that instead. There may also be a slippery quality to Spectra. I would be glad to give it a try if you tell me what kind of cord you want to connect it to.
In my experience, it is necessary to have ceramic guides on the rod eyes when using spectra fishing line. They are at risk of being cut off by the line. The only thing I'd watch out for is whether the blind lines will be routed correctly, which I believe is why this line should be used. It is difficult to tie knots on the line because it To accomplish this, you need to tie your knot As far as sealing the ends, I have been successful using heat.

I love this stuff so much. Interestingly enough, it is the same chemical compound as Tyvek, but instead of fabric, it is spun into rope. As far as breaking weight goes, it really can hold 1050 pounds. I have tested it and it really holds. In fact, it is thin and strong enough that I'm rather careful handling the stuff, since if you got it wrapped around a limb and pulled it, it would be easy to dislocate it It is rather difficult to tie knots with this rope. The odd circumstances. The cord appears stiff, which is helpful, but the exterior of the cord appears slippery and compressible as well. Because of this, what is often called knots (such as a clove hitch, for example) cannot work with this rope, it is too thin and slippery for such knots to be successful. Those that do work (such as a buntline hitch), tend to tighten under load very quickly, to the point that they can be difficult to undo. My purpose for this rope is great, but if you are looking for climbing rope that is easy to tie-and-untie repeatedly, you may want to look elsewhere. Maybe you can find a coated version of this rope for better friction. I find it strange that the ends of the tubes need to be cut and sealed. As thin as this rope is, it is hard to cut, and takes way more to slice than it should. In addition, the ends of the rope don't ball up like nylon does when you cut them and try to seal them (as one does with nylon rope). A flower sort of blooms out of them. Sealing is okay, but you have to do it in a ring around the edges instead of a ball on top, which is a bit disconcerting.
The FIRST(R) Robotics team (DNA 4009) used this braided cord to raise and lower the fork lift mechanism on our robot during competition. Despite its strength, light weight, flexibility, and lack of coil memory, braided cord is extremely flexible and durable. Likewise, it has a high degree of abrasion resistance. As a result of the competition, the 140 pound robots should be able to lift themselves at least 12 inches from the ground. As we hooked the forklift mast to the bar provided, we raised the robot by lowering the mast, and the braided cord held perfectly every time. The few occasions that we didn't stop lifting in time, we bent or broke metal parts, not the braid.
In order to ensure the same "sag" with every set of hammocks that are made, this is the perfect product to use for a hammock static line This way, you don't need to add unnecessary bulk or weight. The lines are too narrow to be used as hanging lines since they would tear into the tree bark unless you used The idea is good in any case. The wild probably has many other unusual uses for it as well. It has a diameter so small, but it is so strong that it is almost frightening. It appears as though you are swinging from tiny steel cables when it is used to hang a hammock. I find it hard to believe that things like this can be that strong, but they are. Tying knots with high friction is a skill you need to learn It's a slick piece of work. With a quick release bow loop attached to the bitter end, I use the Hennessey hitch (lineman's hitch). It is likely the maker had no idea what this application would be.
Spectra winching synthetic ropes (3/8" diameter) require locking stitching after splicing a soft eye. I had to lock stitch after splicing a soft eye onto a heat-treated Spectra rope. Because the diameter of this line was right on target, and it was also made of the same material (Spectra), it was an ideal tool for handling this lock stitch. This lock stitch blends right in, and has been a pleasure to use. There is also a decent amount left over, in case I need to whip or seal anything in the future. As a matter of fact, this stuff can be used around the house for many other purposes.
There is a cord bigger than 3mm and it is It is the second time I have ordered this size, but from a different seller. I don't know what the problem is. Both times, I had the same problem! Two of them have just been purchased by me. The cord was PERFECT for my project and I bought it from this seller. Would you please let me know where I can get a 3mm round UHMWPE cord that is truly 3mm round.
Used for a hobie pro angler linkage system to raise and lower the trolling motor. Currently, there is no significant stretch in the fabric. The diameter of 3mm is about the same as the diameter of a clothes line cord. It is slightly broader than typical paracord, but is much more abrasion-resistant. The para cord would have worked for my application, however I was looking for something reliable that I could rely upon a mile out in the Atlantic Ocean. We retained the rest of the cable to be able to replace the Vantage seat cords if they There is considerably more weight to this than.
550lb paracord/cordage works just fine, but I figure if you are going to carry cordage and you have a choice, why wouldn't you want something they warn/disclaim that it's not meant for that purpose, and it isn't intended for that purpose). Moreover, due to the fact that these are typically found on boats, they bite - The downside is that it folds down far better than paracord, so if there's a chance of it getting wet, it's the better alternative! I prefer this cordage to any other. If you really want to get technical, there is different cord for different purposes, but for me, THIS IS.
It is strong, which is great, since it carries all the load. The bag is extremely light and small - a benefit since it is permanently attached to the tent and must fit into its There is no need to whip or tape the ends since they tie easily, cut easily with a properly sharpened knife (please see the other reviews), and the ends melt very easily with a lighter, no need to cut the.
