I tried using a butane lighter to keep the cut ends from fraying, but it only stiffened the frayed end slightly. It lights up but then goes out, not like a 550 paracord torch.
It's a lot thinner, but it's just as strong. It also doesn't stretch much and doesn't melt, so it's worth it if you need a really strong cord to keep in a small space.
It has a round shape and resembles paracord.
Because the cord is so thin, a small knot won't show up. If I need to avoid a knot, I'll use a drop of super glue and roll the end to a point.

For $22, you can get black braided Technora line with tensile strengths of 400lb and 600lb. fifty dollars and thirty dollars. "Braided Technora 400" or "Braided Technora 600" costs $50 per 250-foot spool, respectively. This is a fantastic product, but the price is a little high from this seller. br>br>It's a great all-around cord, but it can be a little slick in some situations. You'll be fine with this for guy lines if you add an extra loop to your tautline hitch. This isn't kernmantle; it's just a plain braided cord. It handles well, but because of its strength, people tend to treat it like rope; unfortunately, because of its compressible (no core) braided construction, some knots are difficult to untie after being heavily loaded. You can't expect a line to be perfect in every situation. The . The specification for a diameter of 008" is a typo. This is a product that I bought from Amazon. 07"- a cord that is eighteen inches in length. 008" is a size 46 sewing thread with a maximum tensile strength of about 15 pounds. At most, 20 pounds; in comparison, the 400-pound strength Technora line sold elsewhere is. The 600lb strength line is, and the 075" line is. So far, my guesstimate of 08" appears to be accurate. br>br>I prefer the 130-pounder for guy lines and other items that I don't tie or untie frequently. Threads made of bonded kevlar twisted filaments weighing 225 pounds. It's thinner, lighter, and stronger, with more bite for friction knots. It's also naturally yellow, so I don't trip over it as much. I usually untie and re-tie heavier cordage. I prefer real 550 cord over this braided Technora because it has better handling characteristics. Furthermore, the kernmantle construction of 550 cords allows the inner threads to be removed and used as light twine if necessary. br>br>This cordage is a lot of fun to play with and can be used in a lot of different ways. It is unquestionably excellent. It's adequate for a variety of purposes, but it's not ideal for its advertised purpose of "survival cord/rope. ".
This is what I discovered after a lot of research. It was a risk, but one that I'm glad I took. For a project, I needed a strong string, and this far outperforms my expectations! The only problem is that when I cut a section of string off, it frays and does not stay together. I simply taped the ends together, but I wish there was a way to fuse them together. That, however, is not an impediment! Get this if you need a lot of string.
We just bought it.
However, the weight of the suspended object is considerable.
Tough, tenacious, and long-lasting are three words that come to mind when thinking of This stuff works, and it's handled everything so far with ease. I'm not a climber, so I haven't tried it yet; however, if I do, I'll let you know.
It resembles a shoelace at first glance. It was purchased as a "survival rope," but it was far too thin! It did state that. I didn't notice the "08" in the description. It shouldn't be called a "rope" because it isn't. It's what I'd refer to as a cord.
This is an incredible cord, unbelievably strong (though I haven't tested it to 450 pounds). I now always have ten feet of it in my back pocket. The only disadvantage is that it isn't very good at holding a knot (can anyone recommend a good knot?). ), and unlike paracord, you can't burn the ends to prevent fraying (superglue perhaps?). However, with this stuff, those aren't deal breakers at all.
It's small but powerful. It probably won't hold 450 pounds, but it's still good cordage.
