Fraying Shock Cord

Posted by: Paul Lund on January 9, 2000

Hi All,

I'm Just putting the finishing touches to My version of Nick's S&G. I can't believe its taken so long to build (almost 2 years), though I did get engaged and married in that time. And oh boy! doesn't that sort of thing lead to the worlds largest Honey dew patch :-)

Anyway, I'm having a bit of trouble with fraying shock cord. As soon as I cut it, it looks like a mess. I've left all the ends of my bungie about 6" too long so that I can trim them later, as soon as I can work out how to stop them fraying. I've got an idea or two that I want to try-out, But in the mean time does anyone have any clever ideas to keep the ends neat?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
