FAQs
What does '#18' refer to?
The '#18' refers to the thickness or diameter of the braided nylon line. It indicates a specific size within the product range, suitable for moderate to heavy-duty tasks.
How strong is this line?
This line has been tested to withstand up to 170 lb of tensile strength.
Can I use this line for critical safety applications?
While strong, this line is intended for general utility and specific project applications. For critical safety or load-bearing applications (like climbing or lifting heavy machinery), consult a professional and use rated safety equipment.
Is this line waterproof?
Nylon is naturally resistant to water absorption compared to natural fibers, but it is not fully waterproof. It can absorb some moisture and may take time to dry.
How should I store the line to maximize its lifespan?
Store the line loosely coiled in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and chemical contaminants. This will help prevent degradation from UV rays and other environmental factors.
Can the ends be tied securely?
Yes, braided nylon generally holds knots well. Ensure you use appropriate knotting techniques for synthetic cords.
Troubleshooting
Line is fraying at the ends.
Carefully melt the ends with a lighter to seal them. Ensure the line is cool before handling.
Knot is slipping.
Ensure you are using an appropriate knot for nylon cord and that the knot is pulled tight. Consider a different knot type if the issue persists.
Line feels weak or brittle.
Inspect for signs of UV damage or chemical exposure. Store properly in a dry, shaded environment. If damage is significant, replace the line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This product is a raw material and requires user-initiated setup. Cut the line to the desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife. For applications requiring a secured end, consider melting the cut end slightly with a lighter to prevent fraying (use caution to avoid burns).
Compatibility:
Compatible with most standard knots. Its braided nature allows for secure tying. It can be used with eyelets, grommets, or other fastening hardware.
Care:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong its lifespan. Clean with mild soap and water if necessary, and allow it to air dry completely before storing. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals.
