What sets our Ironwire apart from other high strength Accessory Cords?
We use the best yarns possible. We braid the line so it's strong, low stretch, and very tangle resistant. We give you more product for less money. We design the line to work really great and we make it ourselves.
FAQ.. How to melt the core and jacket together?
The simple and easy solution is to go back from the tail end of the cord about a foot or two and milk the Polyester/Dyneema jacket over the Dyneema core. Once you make the jacket slightly longer than the core (you only need to make it about 1/8"), then it's time to melt the ends together. The Polyester/Dyneema jacket will encapsulate over the Dyneema core locking it in place. It is a permanent solution that you can use with all cords/ropes with different yarn chemistries.
