Bootlace Ends.

[Tsayad 88]

I think we've all had the experience of having a perfectly good pair of laces spoilt by the tags falling off and the ends fraying to the point where they are too soft and floppy to easily put through the holes or loops on our boots.

 

Anyone have a quick and easy solution.

 

Have tried dipping them in glue, but those I've tried have been too thick to wick through the lace materiel well. Cotton laces, so melting the ends doesn't work...... and no, I'm not going to try viagra on them.

It's hard enough training dogs to hunt close to me as it is.

Make it harder if they were ashamed to be seen with me. <ROFL>

singe ends with a lighter, melt the ends , dip them in water to set them, dont let them catch alight though or they will be worst than before
