How To Fix Ends Of Thin Nylon Threads?

[Suicide]

Hi guys,

Is there any other way to fix the thin nylon threads after sewing rather than make a knot and then a bit warm it with lighter and then tap on? So far I have no success with that method and have either loose or burned knot

Thanks in advance!

You can also backstitch twice, and then glaze the top of the final two stitches with about a quarter-drop of Super Glue. Backstitching alone should hold the stitches, but the extra little bit of Super Glue locks them forever. Good luck!

I don't knot them, just go back one or two stitches, pull the top thread to the bottom, burn them off with a soldering iron or Bovie and while they are hot, mush them down on the other thread. You can also use fray lock or other thin cyanoacrylate cement to seal the stitches, but do this after dyeing as once the glue is on the thread or the leather, it won't take dye. Commercial boot companies flame their boots as a final step before inspection and packing.

Thanks, guys.

The final small drop of glue should work for me.

Why not try , using a needle with a big eye , to hide Ur thread ends inside Ur work Well I'm not explaining clearly perhaps

It won't work well in my case as I sewed 2 about 4oz bison skins together with garment nylon.

All I have tried until now - make a knots, sew end stitches back and forth, put ends in between of layers - all these doesn't work well and sooner or later ends come out a bit and become loser.
