What happens here

Once the paracord Cobra braid is complete and you have the desired length for your door limiting strap, leave a short tail of paracord. Using a utility knife, carefully cut off the excess paracord. Then, use a lighter to melt the cut ends of the paracord. While the ends are still molten, press them gently against the main braid to fuse them, effectively securing the braid and preventing it from unraveling or fraying. This creates a neat and durable finish.

Goal: Permanently secure the paracord braid.

Tools and materials

  • Lighter — Melting paracord ends

guys what it looks like at the end. All right, guys. So, once you've gotten this far, did your whole braid, figured out how far you wanted the door to swing out, which I did just like that side. I'm going to pull these tight. I'm going to leave a little bit of room for me to burn with the lighter. I'm going leave a little bit of room for me to burn with the lighter. Got the lighter. And then I'm just going to cut them off. I'm using a Milwaukee knife cuz shout out to Milwaukee. Make the best tools and anyone can debate that. Notice how I just left a tiny little bit. So now I'm going to take the lighter. I'm going to get all nice and heated up. Well, get it real hot. Just kind of kind of burn it. Burn it to itself so it doesn't come out. Then I'm really just going to get it all all nice and burnt. I'm just going to secure these edges. Boom. All in there. I'm just kind of going to like I'm just going to burn it all together. Melt it all together. So, nothing's coming off. I mean, that's not coming through. This isn't coming through. This door can open. No problem. Good flex.
