Re: Making belt loops with vinyl tubing

Mcmaster says that there are two ways to do it. One is to melt the ends together by cutting a 45˚ angle such that you have a large surface area to combine. Just make the ends soft and melted with a heat source. (heat gun, soldering iron, lighter, torch etc) then combine using a scrap piece of angle as a guide for straightness. Or you can cut it without an angle and buy these barbed sticks which you insert into both. search "multi-barbed tube fittings " on Mcmaster.com

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.
