Troubleshooting
Webbing fraying after cutting
Ensure cut edges are properly heat-sealed. Use a controlled flame from a lighter or a specialized heat tool to melt the polypropylene fibers, creating a sealed edge.
Webbing feels stiff or rough
This is normal for heavy-duty polypropylene. The material will become more pliable with use, especially when sewn into a project. Gentle flexing can also help.
Colour transfer to other materials
While unlikely with SolaDirect webbing, if experiencing colour transfer, ensure the webbing is clean and dry before prolonged contact with lighter-coloured materials. Washing the webbing before first use might help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This webbing requires no complex setup. It can be cut to the desired length using sharp scissors or a utility knife. For the most durable finish and to prevent fraying, it is recommended to heat seal cut edges. This can be done carefully with a lighter or a dedicated heat sealing tool, melting the polypropylene fibers to create a smooth, sealed edge.
Compatibility:
This webbing is compatible with standard sewing machines for attachment to fabric items. It can also be used with buckles, D-rings, and other hardware commonly found in bag making and strap production. It integrates well with various materials including leather, canvas, and synthetic fabrics.
Care:
To clean the webbing, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be employed. It is generally machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water, but air drying is recommended to maintain its integrity and prevent shrinkage. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat drying.
