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!

Yes you do. You first cut off the length you need. Then you seal one of the ends. Then you load the food into the newly created bag. And finally you remove the air from the bag and seal the other end.

tip to end 4- 9/16's inches and just under 1- 1/4 inches at the thickest part

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

XX should be fine. If it's a little too long you can cut it and sear the the ends.

Yes, you can cut width or length down several inches and reseal the cloth without much difficulty; however, it's only a couple inches either way.

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

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 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.

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.

I cut one end to enable a bend. I lined up the two pieces, then cemented it in place, called it a day. If you want a sealant, silicon paste may work.

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.

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

This is almost like a really thick piece of tape. I ended up using a sheet metal cutter to cut the length. A heavy duty scissor should work too. Just clean the surface and apply firmly, making sure there are no air gaps. I applied the tape to the outside of the gutter, and then used sealant inside the gutter to cover the hole (attached link). The tape acted as a surface where I could apply the sealant. I have gotten no leaks since. Dap 18188 Gray Gutter and Flashing Sealant 10.1-Ounce

Sure, use the 8 inch roll and just be sure to cut off enough to seal both ends.

A small piece of electric tape placed on the nozzle (tip) between uses should seal it. Some distributors carry a "blank" (no-hole nozzle) for customization--that would work, too.

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