How would you keep the ends from unraveling?

Don, I'm curious if you could make boot laces with this stuff?McGizmo on the SF board said:I posted a note on this over on DarksBane as well.
Hotfoot pointed out the potential melting problem of nylon lanyards on the head of some of the SureFire Lights when a HOLA is used for extended periods of time.
Since then, I have been planing on making a removable, soft kevlar, lanyard ring for my M6. I found a good source for the
material at wirecare.com .
The material I used is the 1/4" TechFlex and it splices well. To be very anal about this, one could use PTFE thread such as Gore's Tenara if the whipping will be near a heat source.
More info on splicing can be found on my Spectra Splicing page. When time permits, I hope to make a titanium/ Kevlar holster for the M6.
