5MM TITAN CORD
TITAN CORD is built with a super
strong Dyneema core and sheathed in durable Nylon.
Use it to sling your chocks & nuts and also
for "Gunks style tie offs"on rigid or
FORGED FRIENDS. TITAN CORD can be easily cut and
the ends fused by an electric hot knife, then
must be tied with a triple fiisherman's knot for
full strength security (allow extra 10" for
knot). Use 3 1/2 -4 1/2 feet per nut and 2 1/2
ft for a tie off.

PREPPING BLUEWATER
5 mm TITAN CORD for Slinging Chocks
& Wedge Nuts drilled with small holes (larger
7 mm holes can accept our bartacked 12 mm Ultratape
sling).
Recommended "cut" lengths for each
size Chock or Wedge Nut is available from Mountain
Tools. Alternately you can customize your Titan
Cord slings length as you wish. The Manufacturer
recommends ALWAYS TYING your Titan Cord with
a TRIPLE FISHERMANS KNOT - for full strength!
To prep the
cord before threading the Chock or Wedge Nut:
1. Pull back the outer sheath on one end of
the cord exposing the core.
2. With a very sharp knife - cut the white core
back 1/2" - 5/8"
3. Pull the sheath back over the core, concealing
all of the core.
4. Fuse the Nylon outer sheath with a lighter
or hotknife. Fusing this
end to a pointed tip makes inserting into each
hole easier.
5. Feed from the bottom of the chock or nut
-up, across & back down
thru the opposit holes. Needle nose pliers are
helpful to coax the cord through each hole.
6. TIE a TRIPLE FISHERMAN's KNOT leaving 1/2"
- 3/4" "tails" for full
strength.
7. Position knot as desired.
