How to join paracord properly for decorative work- 'The Manny method'

Показать описание
In this tutorial I demonstrate how to join paracord. Joining paracord is one of the fundamental tasks when creating with paracord, especially in multiple colors.

For this purpose we take a look at the "Manny method", named after Manuel Zambrano who introduced this method to the paracord community.

This bond has a number of advantages over the melting method:
- it is very secure
- enables you to join polyester and nylon cords
- looks good

Thank you so much for sharing this method of Paracord joining, it’s worth the extra effort. I always felt that my melting joining weren’t strong enough and always prefer giving the best quality in whatever I make.

I just received a pair of threading needles this week, I was never satisfied with just melting the ends together. I successfully made this splice on my first try thanks to your video!

There are two additional steps that make this much much easier. Learning - I tried this as shown - and was never able to get it to go through no matter how much I tried to melt and smooth. First step is - when you melt the ends of the outer cord to prevent fraying - quickly insert a large fib into it so it cools enlarged. Second, on the fib/needle end - cut a small amount of inner cord, melt the end of the outer to completely fit into a sharp, medium/smaller fib. Then do the steps in the video. The cords will slide right into each other. After that - take your lighter to heat the inner ends - roller them smaller between your fingers. Awesome joint.

Nice technic, i used this when i was short on cord during a project. I made wrong calculations and i didnt want to start all over. So i put the needle in the opposite direction, cut the cord and put the needle in the normal way shown in this video. Thanks

I've been taking super glue gel and putting it in between two sections that are slightly overlapped (3/16 at most) and then pressing them together with vice grip c-clamps with the oval pads. 60 to 90 seconds and I'm done. It works great and I have never had them fail while tightening a knot. I only do this when I'm connecting two pieces that are going to be used for decorative use and if the edges don't align I trim them up with scissors. I also know when I get a good weld because I can see the gel pressed completely through the cordage. The part where the sections are joined is flat but its so small and hardly ever lands on an exposed area. When it does I am the only person who ever notices it. I like this method though and I will have to try it.

Wow... that is ingenious! It's such a simple concept yet it's so surprising!

What is the outer diameter of your lacing needle?

Thanks for sharing the method I knew was out there but I hadn't found in these years before now. Ok, so I'm a slow learner. LOL!

The integrity of the cord is compromised with the internals not connected.
