Elastic band+cut= fray?


Recommended Posts

I use an old soldering iron. The side works well to melt cut edges, and the point works well to create a hole for snaps, rivets etc while simultaneously melting it.

I go with the lighter, and I put velcro on the end and use a hole punch, then I add the snap.

The velcro attaches to the armor, and the snap holds it in place.

 

This allows a single thickness and I always use Hook velcro on straps, and fuzzy velcro on the armor.

it allows for the snap to be held in place by the velcro!!!

 

no folding or sewing needed!

I use a little e6000 and press into the area I want to cut. I let it cure for an hour then cut. This can also be done after the fact to prevent fraying, but you will end up having to trim some strands that get away during the process.
