After you cut this webbing, will the end of webbing fray and fall apart? Does it need to be sewn back onto itself? Ends melted to seal cut site?

Melt the ends to seal the cut site. I also melt any holes I punch as well. Woven nylon fibers will always fray.

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.

That's actually pretty easy. I recommend heat sealing the ends. Just light a small candle, then pass the cut ends over the flame (not in the flame - over it). The nylon will gently melt from the heat, and prevent further fraying. Just pay attention and do it quickly and carefully (making multiple passes, as needed), making sure you don't hold it over the flame for too long, or it might catch fire. Then you can put the clip thing over it to help prevent any further damage. BTW, this trick works on other types of synthetic cords, such as paracord.

Donna, I have trimmed this fabric and it does not fray. Just to be sure, you should consider folding over the cut area or using an anti frayliquid available at a fabric/sewing store.

i have not cut mine - the fabric looks like it would fray - there's something called 'Dritz Fray Check' which stops fabric fraying - that might work along the edge

Sure...but I would sew the ends. I have no idea if there is a special way to sew the ends of something waterproof.

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

The best thing to do is to take a needle and thread and pull the hole together the best you can. You could then take the fray check from the back and add a little to prevent further damage. The fray check dries clear but would cause the yarn to be stiff, so you wouldn't want to use it on the outside of the sweater. It should not hurt the wool. Still worth a try if you are careful and really like that sweater.

I have cut the material and gave some thought to fraying before making the cut also. I had an old iron that I had warmed(not hot or you'll melt the fabric) standing by. After making the cut, I ran the warm iron over the cut line to soften the cut area and fuse any frayed ends together. You can also create a hem at your cutline-folding the cutline and frayed ends under. I used a hot glue gun(low setting not high) to bond the hem closed. Heat is your friend-just don't get carried away or you'll melt things rather than soften and join. If you are going to have some extra, just cut off a small piece and experiment.

Yes, it's a man made rubber-ish material. It won't fray if you cut it. Would help if you have a sharp exacto knife.

You could do that with no problems. You would probably want to burn/melt the end you cut to keep it from fraying which isn't a big deal.

there is a velcro connection that rips off the first time you use it. If you can sew the velcro on instead of gluing it, there might be a chance of it staying on.

I used to make wreaths, and yes the edges do fray but it didn't bother me ... sometimes I will cut off a fray if it looks bad. It's so much cheaper than the finished edge burlap. IF you really wanted to seal maybe try the stop fray spray stuff. hope this helps.

I just looked at mine, and there are actually opening in the mesh along the bottom that would probably allow you to attach the laces. I wouldn't recommend cutting, as you would ruin the integrity of the net and it may cause further unravelling.

You can cut the length to whatever you need, and then seal both ends. They are not reusable.

Hi Gatorman! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) Apologies for the delayed answer! We do not recommend for this particular grenade paracord product that you re-braid it after use unless you are experienced doing so (many tutorials can be found online for countless instructional videos) We do have a DIY paracord kit that comes with a few simple knot instructions though that you may be interested instead. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Paracord-Kit-firestarters-instructions/dp/B00KGNZBT6/. If I can be of any further help to you, please let me know at our customer service link here:

No it does not fray when cut, however, I don't know about over time. I always hem it in.
