Cord ends fray once they travel through a drawstring channel their first time. A short piece of shrink tubing settles that within seconds: cut cord plus tubing to length, slide tubing over your end, warm it — it closes around your cord, then stays.
A clear version stays neutral, suiting every cord without your having to match its shade. A set holds three diameters, 4, 6 plus 8 mm, each roughly 10 cm long, shortened as needed. Thin cords get something suitable just as thick hoodie ties do; shrinking roughly halves each diameter.
As a heat source a hairdryer at full power suffices, hot air works faster, hot water serves too. Results add almost no bulk, so cords keep running easily through eyelets plus channels.
What Schrumpfschlauch für Kordelenden Transparent 10er Set is suitable for
- Hoodie or sweat jacket cords, because tubing adds little bulk, so nothing snags inside its channel.
- Gym bags plus backpacks, since both ends of every cord stay properly closed.
- Joggers or sports trousers, because tubing survives repeated washing where knots work loose.
- Repairs to finished garments, as tubing goes over an end without sewing anything.
Frequently asked questions
What should I use to warm this tubing?
A hairdryer at its highest setting usually suffices, a heat gun works faster, plus hot water serves as well. An iron suits this badly, because heat reaches only one side, leaving your tubing to shrink crookedly.
Which cord thickness does it suit?
Every set carries diameters of 4, 6 plus 8 mm, while shrinking roughly halves each one. That range covers common cords, from thin drawstring through to a thick hoodie tie.
Does it survive a washing machine?
Yes. Once shrunk, tubing grips your cord firmly, never working loose during washing. Unlike a knot it will also never gradually untie itself, holding its shape as your garment dries.
How many cords will a set finish?
Each set holds ten pieces. Since every cord carries two ends, that finishes five complete cords — five garments, if your hoodies run one single cord through their hood.
