Kevlar Cord Black

I chose the 0.8mm size (8-strand hollow-braid). 1st impressions using this cord -- I expected this cord to be round like a tiny rope, but it is flat like a tiny shoelace. Simple knots like square knot or bowline work with this cord. (It is NOT slick like nylon monofilament. Yeah, knots weaken the cord. There's sailor and mountaineer lore about proper knots for Kevlar.) This cord resists fraying at a metal hole, but not extraordinary. A freshly drilled hole can cut the cord. Chamfered hole, no fraying. Cord can be cut with a sharp knife, but scissors is better. Even with very sharp scissors, the cut end still frays. Unlike cotton thread, wetting the frayed end does not help getting it through a tiny hole. Can't melt the cut end to stop the fray. (It doesn't get sticky with heat, it just burns.) Soak with glue and then cut is the only way I found to stop the fray. Elmer's or water-soluble glue is less mess. First use was tying a tweezer to my backpack. The tiny tool is easily lost while pulling other stuff out of a zipper pocket. This cord works great. It is almost as easy to use as cotton string, but will last much longer.

Good product. I’m using this product to hand sew custom Hand gun holsters and knife sheaths to be more abrasion resistant and cut resistant than nylon or other leather sewing products that don’t stand up as well under heavy use. You will need special dedicated scissors to cut this thread. Regular scissors won’t cut it, just kind of smushed it around.

Been using this cord to hang pictures on a brick wall in my basement. No hangers will stick to the wall long so I thought I would try to put a screw in to the board running above the brick and then tie this string to it and then to the frame and just let them hang against the wall. I wanted something I knew could hold the weight of the frames and glass. This cord is very tough and holds multiple pictures in frames without any issue. The cord is also very thin for being so strong making it hard to see against the brick wall.

Strong thicker thread. Durable

I use it for guy lines on a ham antenna. Put up a new pole recently, and a new guy location along the roof line. Found that the guy was rubbing the edge of the shingle roof line, but left it overnight to take care of it the next day. When I took it down, I found that the line had rubbed off about an eighth of an inch of asphalt shingle, but with no apparent damage to the line. That impresses me.

This was a rip off. I should have read the product description before I ordered. It is a little bitty roll of string. I'm not happy at all. I will not order from this company again!!!!!!!

This is good stuff. I used it to re-sew a Humvee soft door window back on. It's very strong!

Worked great to re- string my lighter weight wind chimes

Súper remsistente, es difícil de trabajar con el, pero su versatilidad, fortaleza y resistencia son innegables. Además es a prueba de fuego, de hecho a menos que se insista en exceso no se enciende con un encendedor de butano

Excellent

Strong and seems good quality. I tried to rip it with my hands and I couldn't.

At $10 a Metre very expensive , did not get 200ft only 100ft, 31metres. NOT GOOD. Does not work for the intended purpose too thin for windchimes.
