hey,
l have a problem which arrised the other day regarding my major work and l was wandering how to fix it:
l am using rope for my handle for the drawer and it frays, how do l prevent it from fraying?
If you have any solutions it will be great!

Hairspray? Another laquer of some sort? I would honestly have no idea, but that could work

 

[DanielleM]

l could try that.. l guess l will need to do some experiments.. l was thinking clear nail polish too

 

[lourai*87]

That would take a while, the nalipolish. Is it thick rope? Yeah, i would try it on a scrap piece first...don't want to be responsible for screwing up your work

 

[DanielleM]

yea lam.. l will try it on scrap

 

[fakingtheday]

You could document this as project testing. Did you intend doing that?

 

[DanielleM]

no l didnt.. but as it just arrose as an issue l guess l am going to have to..

 

[fakingtheday]

Yep document it as project testing it will gain you a lot of marks.

I am sure there is some lacquer that could help. Yeah, as someone said above, make sure you document it, showing the differen tests and be sure to put somewhere in a HUGE heading that it was problem that arose. Don't worry I've got a few problems like that too! Even concerning rope as well!

I don't know what exactly your MW involves, but I know when you splice ropes you burn the end of the rope and roll it under your foot on some concrete, it makes the ends all stick together and not fray.
