If the "read the manual" statement was followed with something of more substance. I'm not trying to call Don out on this too much. It just seems particularly out of character from him. I'm one that always looks forward to his posts and found this one just a bit disappointing. That's all I have to say about it though as I don't want to single him out any further.

Don, if you have any questions/comments feel free to PM me.

So what is the Best way to weld this poly cord stuff together? Mainly what temperature do you heat it to and any other important information about the welding process?

Zip ties work great, haven't tried welding that stuff, but I assume its possible. You can always try to put an insert into the tube (flexible, of course) and insert that into the two ends of your loop. Rubber adhesive or zip tie crimps should hold that in place.

Home depot has some latex tubing that is pretty much identical to the surgical tubing in the kit. They should have all you need!
