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!

You can't. Your best bet is to "rough Cut" the sections with a small hand-held saw and then "fine tune" them with the cutter for a nice finished edge.

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

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.

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

You have to cut it out. Use a scroll saw or a hand saw and cut through, you should be able to pull it out the rest of the way.

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.

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.

I do not see an easy way of either shortening or extending, unless you have some small jumprings available, looks like these are all sealed. But w/ some 2mm jumprins, I thin would be easy if you had a way to cut a link out.

i seal the opened end then cut and fill bag. leaving approx 3".( it works better if a minimum amount of liquid is on food.) seal bag.good product in my opinion.

Yes you cut a piece long enough for what you are going to freeze, then you use the seal only setting to seal one end, insert the item and seal and vacuum the other end. Hope that is clear.

Personally, I would sew or glue loops on the edge and then string on some type of string or twine. I guess you could staple them also but I'd prefer what ever method would do the less damage.

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.

I would think u could use a hack saw to remove them. That's what I used to cut an end piece off

Fasten one end and stretch it out while holding the other end with a pair of pliers after rolling out the length you need.

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

I used an electrical connector crimper (handheld), size blue i believe. It seems to work fine and has not come apart. Before you cut, I added about an extra 1/4" because the cable is easier to compress, instead of stretching.
