Testpiece with several threads to tie off.
Small BBQ lighter and scissors.
Pull the thread end tight.
Cut it off at 0,5cm or 1/8 inch.
Pull the end tight again.
Melt and push the melted polyester in the leather.
Keep the thread close to the flame and NOT in the flame.
Bente pushes the BBQ lighter several times at the same spot, but there is actually no use for that.
Pushing down hard in a sort of dragging way is the best technique.
Do this 1 by 1. Do not cut ends in advance.
Practise this at least 10 times on your testpiece.
Test your technique by trying to destroy the ties.
