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!

Outline the smaller radius the use a metal cutting circular saw blade. That's how I did it

My husband cut and pasted the two ends together. Not very effective for long term use.

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

I cut the end after I adjusted it for size. I also felt I was wasting the product.. However, It does work well..

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.

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.

You would basically cut the size you want. Seal one end, then add your item and the food saver will remove the air and the seal the bag.

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 shortened mine by first marking where the cut needed to be and making the cut with a large utility knife. The other option would be with a Hacksaw, either should do the job. If you do a search on the internet "best method for cutting wiremold" you should get some results/feedback on the subject.

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.

The metal ends are 2" wide and 1/2" deep so they grip the webbing really well. I used pliers to crimp the webbing into the ends, becuase I did my rewebbing on the porch, but I've heard of others who used a vise to close the ends on the webbing - either way, you'll need some 'mechanical' help in securing the metal ends to the cut webbing. Good luck on your project!

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.

Yes, and even if there is a little space left over...a small cut isn't gonna hurt it too much...just burn it after to seal it.

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?

It's easy. Just mark where you want the ends of the tape on both sides. Stick the end of the tape firmly on one end, then unroll and stretch it across before pressing it down. It might help to have someone hold the other end down if you have a long way to go across.

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