If you cut it how do you finish the end so it does not fray?

Use whipping fluid or super glue. Do not attempt to melt it. Kevlar does not melt. It is heat resistant to about 800 degrees Fahrenheit, at which point it chars.

Use a flame, or something hot enough to melt it. Treat it as you would nylon or poly rope, paracord, etc.

Kevlar is not flammable, don't waste your time trying to burn it. Super glue sounds good.

I've found that pulling it taut and cutting it 1 layer at a time helps but there are still some stragglers. I usually just cut it folded as is and rinse the ends so they don't end up in whatever I'm straining. :)

You can't prevent fraying of the ends. At least I did not have success. It is on of the big downers I experienced. Once the ends are frayed, then the end clips and the pull stops are impossible to use.

Yes. There is no finished edge, it's kind of rubbery, seems to be cut from a larger sheet so I don't think the edges would fray if that is the concern. You would have a smaller surface area so it would probably dry and warm up faster.

It'll stay. I haven't seen a fray since I've put it on. it's pretty solid glue.

The ends are unfinished, but that's good because it means you can knot one end to make a sort of cap, and the fabric is strong. I have a lot of different Buffs, and I haven't had a single one to get frayed or to unravel, and that includes hundreds of washings.

Use a wire cutter. I use a pair of scissors at first but it left the ends frayed. Wire cutter

If you get a perfect cut... Which does happen sometimes , the 2 pieces go back together perfectly but you can still see a line. Maybe a good glue would hide the line.

If you cut one in half it won't be long enough to grab from both ends around your back. Cutting it will cause it to unravel.You can keep it folded while you use it, or scrunch it up and use it like a shower puff.

I used a pair of wire cutters; if the ends get flat a bit, it doesn't impeed the performance of the rope at all. Once cut, you place the cap back on the end.

Instead of cutting them, I would turn under the ends to get the required length. Fabric might fray otherwise.

I think you could easily cut it in half. I don't think it would fray or anything like that.

I had no problems with fraying when I trimmed mine. I hung it inside our skylights- if they are outside, the wind may produce more wear.

Wasn't sure if this needed clarification, but inside each handle should be two metal grommets--one that is already crimped at the end of the rope, and a second "loose" one which is not crimped. Crimp the loose one at the desired location and cut off any excess rope. The loose grommet may be stuck in the handle, so give it a good shake if nothing's coming out.

I believe I cut it off with tin snips. A heavy-duty pair of scissors should work.

Sometimes I finish off with colorful duct tape. Most the time I just clean up the edges with my cutting board or a rotary cutter.

Buy some slim nylon string at a local craft store, cut to desired length, ( don't forget to burn ends to keep from unraveling) thread through zipper hole. Knot the ends together & done. I do this all the time zipper pulls are never ment to last from manufacture, no matter who you buy from.
