I got an idea while watching this video, after you cut the inner rubber string to create a hollow space,instead of heating the paracord directly, you can also use a heat shrink rubber tubing of desired length equivalent to FID and then use lighter to shrink the tube, please let me know what are your thoughts.

Thanks for the tip. I'm just getting into paracording and have no fids yet. Used this method and works great.

[@ammo_skull]

This is perfect for doing to thinner cord when threading beads onto a project 😀

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

For sure! :)

[@aculasabacca]

Use super-glue to soak 2-3 inches of cord, let it get hard and shape the tip with sand paper.

[@binecz1]

Thanks .for showing this ..good idea..

[@grantroper2511]

Clever idea

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I suggest rolling it on a heat proof surface after it is softened from the lighter

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

+Radianne2 Good tip!

[@yomamajo]

Wax paper?

[@marvinirving1148]

Wow that's cool

[@judywyatt4790]

Could make it out of an aluminum knitting needle.

[@MrGONECRAZY73]

You are using a new touch lighter. Who makes it and or where can I pick one up?

[@meanf1502]

what red color was on that bracelet you showed on here

[@Bearded_Buddha]

They call it licorice.

[@meanf1502]

Cool thanks

[@konohrik4659]

also sticky tape wrapped around the cord works similarly

[@euvid1]

what is your glove?

[@Xehxna]

I use a small twig, or a little bit of glue. Even a broken paperclip. I am seriously pyro phobic and o have PTSD so I find what ever I can use

[@cloud4889]

Maybe you could insert a toothpick inside the cord before you burn it to make it more stiff to minimize the burning process.

[@BPantherPink]

Yes yes yes... that's a super idea Jin... Thanks.

[@Crizzdafo0]

I use tooth picks for my fids . Take a little bit of the guts out . Insert toothpick . And melt it on there

[@meganpeters2425]

Is this tough enough to do the Manny Method to join Paracord?

[@denredhead6990]

smart way when we lost a needle.

I got an idea while watching this video, after you cut the inner rubber string to create a hollow space,instead of heating the paracord directly, you can also use a heat shrink rubber tubing of desired length equivalent to FID and then use lighter to shrink the tube, please let me know what are your thoughts,I recently used shrink tube on the end of headphone connector pin,as most earphones gets damaged at that point,and to my surprise it works very well..

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

That's definitely an interesting idea and I don't see why it wouldn't work. Have you tried making a fid with shrink tubing?

[@fusion_fever1592]

@@TheWeaversofEternity not yet,as I mentioned in my reply,I got that idea while watching that vdo when you used the heat to harden paracord after removing the inner rubber strings, still will try it as I am about to make a watch strap out of paracord..yet to finalize the weaving pattern...

[@BennyCFD]

Brilliant......!!!!!

[@saved_yet_so_as_by_fire]

They can snag if you're not careful.

[@firstnamelastname730]

i used the cord to make the cord

[@guynemer53]

clever. i just ruined one of my microcord fids when a piece of microcord broke and is lodge inside...

[@Chewchewman]

guynemer53 could you use a long thin needle to pull it out?

[@saved_yet_so_as_by_fire]

melt another cord into it, then screw then both out.

[@BlueAeroVanilla]

Please find better music or leave it off altogether

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

+BlueAeroVanilla Do you have any suggestions for good royalty free music in that case?

[@BlueAeroVanilla]

This site has hundreds of royalty free music to select from. All you need to do is post their copyright information in the comments of your video: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/

[@Hugo127]

lol wtf is "better" music. music preference is totally subjective; just because you like something doesn't mean everyone else has to like it too.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

I've been through incompetech's library and the music from epidemicsound.com is far superior. Also "better" is subjective.

[@westrebel89]

Sharp tongue's and baby smooth hands.

[@donhanscom7309]

ok uhm... that is NOT a fid... its a lacing needle.

[@citysurvivor1272]

that looks like a pain!!! i just got a fid on ebay for a dollar

[@williammccleery4368]

Not a fid. It's a lacing needle

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

I've addressed and clarified that notion in a recent video.

[@catchernumber10]

You never dealt with molting paracord in the entire video. 🙄
