[Michael-whmy]

you could make it even stronger with the rope making machine

[dwaynerobertson]

Wow. My condolences. I just saw this video and subscribed; started scrolling through the comments and...my sincere condolences. I hope this comment is useful - when lashing branches together with this material, you can shrink wrap it with heat to constrict the branches together, real tight. The integrity it gives to the joining/overlapping framework of branches of your shelter is extremely strong. Substitute this for paracord (or string), and heat it. It will shrink tight, no complicated knots to deal with, contour forming. Done. Two pieces become one; two branches married together. Pretty much permanent integrity. I hope this is helpful.

You should make plastic rope with your rope making machine!

[IronmanTommy]

You should set up 3 of these and combine it with your rope making machine for plastic rope twine. You could test how much weight it could hold vs. the other ropes you've made.

So in the antifreeze video, you found that uv light makes antifreeze glow. Do you think you could make a controllable glowstick for us? maybe dare I say a green lantern?

[dangareau]

I've been trying to figure out why I like Grant as if he's older than me, since he's younger and why it feels like I kind of look up to him, almost, in a fatherly way, or like a teacher, or a mentor. It's as if he reminded me of someone.

I finally figured it out...he's "Mr. Wizard 2.0"!!!!

Thumbs up if you would like to see a hammock made from those plastic bottles ;)

[jorgvanaalst]

One tip! Put the beginning of the string around an empty bottle with a piece of tape. Then use your drill to rotate the bottle so it automatically pulls the string and spins the string around the bottle!

[rohman]

For both rope making and other potential applications, it seems like it would be really handy to join lengths of the string together. I wonder if a heat weld could be done to fuse them end-to-end similar to the way a band saw blade is welded. If the weld were smooth, even more applications might take advantage of this string plastic. Thanks for the idea and instruction.
