Testing a length of boot lace in a pot of burning diesel. Boot laces and starter cords made from this material are available at www.toughcord.com.
The flames on the cord are from burning fuel, not the cord itself which didn't burn or melt.
Toughcord.com testing out our boot laces. The sparks from an angle grinder soon melt ordinary laces, what would happen when we tried our tough cords out?
Test video for toughcord unbreakable lace or cord on the barbecue with a couple of burgers.
The burgers tasted better than the undamaged cord!
(It is the same length of cord in all three videos, and it also has suffered the rehearsals. It is still going strong).
Fitting an Aglet
Aglet or Aiglets are the plastic ends on boot laces that stop them fraying and enable them to be threaded through the holes. Sometimes they get damaged or you want to shorten your laces for a better fit so you need to fit new ones.
It is really easy with heat shrinking plastic ones, use a flame, boiling water or put them in the oven at 100 degrees.
Of course your laces must be able to put up with the heat!
This lace is from toughcord.com and is unbreakable and highly heat resistant.
The aglets are also available from toughcord.com
