If you want to cut it into smaller lengths, how do you seal the ends?

you can also use a hot knife or soldering iron. less chance of burning and very neat ends.

Melt the ends with a lighter. That will keep it sealed up so it doesn't fray or fall apart . It's very tough mil spec para cord. Hope this was helpful

Have to use super sharp scissors, then a nice hot flame. The center strands melt slower, so try to move slowly. I keep it in the blue part of the flame on a pocket lighter, but recently purchased a propane torch for the steadier heat. Try not to let it actually start on fire, though, it discolors the ends. Good luck!

Cut off of the roll how long of a bag you need + about 4 inches. Seal only 1 of the open ends and then put your food inside and seal the other end. I hope this helps.

You can use regular scissors to cut it. Even children's craft scissors will work.

I'm sure you could do this, but they are sharp on the ends (pointed) so it would be a lot of work to shorten them and leave a pointed end.

Rod ends are plain and you should be able to shorten them. They are metal you may have trouble sawing thru them.

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.

So let me understand: I pop out the end piece, cut it to the length I need, pop the end piece back in and voila?

1. You can use a lighter to burn the end but this doesn't look very good. 2. Use the edge of a very hot iron to seal the cut edge. You will have to clean your iron very good to get the gunk off.

Just pop out the smaller side. Use your finger nail. It gets easier as you use it!

Amerimax now has a video that talks about that, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI-13r490aw. At 1:53 in the video he explains to connect the same sized ends together. Not sure if this really works or not since I have not tried it myself.

Hi anne i'm not sure if you can cut it that' s why i prefer to go smaller than bigger i think that maybe if you cut the ends it could loose a bit of shape i hope i help you any doubts ask me .

I would suggest using a hack saw, grinder or something and cutting them to proper length.

Seal one end. (The roll must stay tightly rolled or the machine will suck out the air from as much material as has been unrolled) Cut to size. Fill and seal.

I buy the webbing on a roll. I cut them to length according to the chair, sofa, etc they are being used on. I pinch the metal end on the webbing using a vise for even compression. I usually use the old metal ends by opening them up & pinching them closed again, but always have extra ends in the event I break one or need extras.

Yes. Be sure to maintain a gap with shims (I used chop sticks) as you cut along to prevent the re-sealings. Another way is to cut away in small sections.

I have been wondering the same thing I imagine you would have to cut it to the desired length with a grinder or saw that would cut it without damaging it.

I open an end of the roll and slide the product I am going to seal in it. I then use scissors to cut an inch to an inch an 1/2 (maybe more until you get more confortable with it).. I then stick the cut end in the sealer, making sure the bag laps over the heat bar. Mine is an old sealer so after I punch the seal button I hold it down. The light will light up when it becomes totaly sealed on that end. Turn and seal the other end. I have had mine for twelve years.
