[quote=P.M.][quote=Wolfman]That won't work with a pure dyneema or vectran line. They don't melt, they burn. You have to use some type of whipping.[/quote]
Not true, dyneema melts at 144 degrees Celcius and Vectran at 330 degrees Celcius. Hot knifes do work on these fibers and is the common tool in the shop, it just that a hot knife is not very convenient on the beach. Hood's system provides for a portable way to hot knife the fibers on the beach. We've also used the portable butane torches for various uses, usually 'cause sometimes the wind is blowing hard and lighters and such don't work.
Dave, just curious, have you tried the super glue and a box cutter? It's simple and the glue makes the line much easier to get that clean cut.[/quote]
