Cord Thread
Hexcentric, How to thread the cord?
I have some old Hexcentrics that I would like to replace the cord. I bought some new 5.5 mm Blue Water Titan Cord to replace the 5.5 mm Spectra cord I put in 20 years ago. I remember it being hard to thread the cord in to the Hex back then, but I don’t recall how I did it. Can someone tell me how to thread the 5.5mm cord through the Hexcentric holes?
I found a way that works well. It wastes an inch of the cord. I pull back the outer layer. Then cut an inch of the core off completely. Then my hand down the outer layer so that it is back where it should be (with an inch of the outer layer and nothing in it). I then take an inch of scotch tape and wrap it around the tip so it is like the end of a shoe lace. Then thread the cord through the holes on the Hexcentric. First, twisting / rotating the cord and if hangs up, pulling the cord with needle nose pliers, it goes through pretty easy.
I am a Software Engineer, and this was a Hardware problem.
If you have enough cord to waste a few inches, first make a diagonal cut for each hex (with a hot knife) to create a threadable tip. But even this requires some good pliers and patience.
When you’re through, remove the tip by making a flat cut (again with a hot knife) and tie the ends together with a triple fisherman’s knot.
BTW, I’m sure you’re aware that nylon degrades in sunlight due to the UV component. That goes for your ropes, the new Titan cord, and probably all your other webbing. Most manufacturers recommend replacement after just 5 years (which is overly cautious i.m.o.) even if there is no visible wear & tear.

That would not have been my second suggestion but it is very clever. Hollow it out, tape aglet. Would you by any chance be an engineer?
