Hi guys,

I have a nylon pocket organizer from Skinth Solutions like the ones seen here:

http://skinthsolutions.com/pro...llel-pocket-panel-3/

It's a wonderful, useful product I wear every day. The problem is that the bottom corners of the nylon pouch are getting curled up from daily wear in my pants pocket, and its starting to print a bit more thru my pants.

I thought I'd perhaps try cutting off the curled, stitched corners and somehow melt them to seal the rounded corners again. Has anyone done something like this before and if so, what process would you recommend?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I have successfully shortened and sealed the ends of nylon webbing, such as that used for tie-down straps.

Select an OLD knife... heat it over the gas flame on your cook top until it is very hot and immediately press it firmly where you want the cut/sealing process to occur.

Getting the knife "red hot" is best, but many of us do not have that capability at home unless you have a good torch.

It will stink to high heaven, so do it outside or your wife will hate you! Also, do not use her favorite knife!

Why? She'd use yours.

I did it once and it turned out great. At the army surplus store I found some brand new German Flectarn camo dual 5.56 magazine pouches, beautiful. Took one home and it was too long for my 20 round mags and too short for my 30 round mags. After wondering what to do for a while, I finally decided to cut it down to fit the 20 round mags. Used the hot knife to cut, used a flame to seal and crimped with a pair of pliers while hot and then added some brads along the bottom for strength. Took me a long time as I wanted to do it right. Later as I was putting it into my safe, I was moving my 25 round H&K 5.56 mags to make room for the mag pouch when it dawned on me. !!! Went back to the surplus store and, of course, no more of those mag pouches.
