[quote author=Aussie link=1243340828/105#105 date=1278632147I know PJ doesn't like it, but I also recommend sealing the constriction with superglue as it will never unravel no matter how hard you sling.

I agree with you on the superglue Aussie. It does make the sling almost indestructible. However I don't use it because I give out seatbelt slings to just about anyone who shows interest in slinging. My way of thinking is if they become interested in slinging they will want to make their own slings and the seatbelt sling should last long enough for that to either happen or not. For my advanced students who take the time to get proficient with the sling on their own I make them a PJ sling with a black pouch and green R&R cords and induct them into the M.P.A.
 
  I also give out about 5 seatbelt slings a week, each one takes me about 15 mins to make just using painters twine and burning the ends and have never heard of anyone saying it came undone.
 
I on the other hand have had only one come apart on me since I started making them about a year ago and it was the first one I ever made so the whipping was less then professional.

I've been using a hot glue gun on my seatbelt slings.  So far it's worked great... no malfunctions at all.

Yeah, that's the stuff. (I actually like the color of it on the black/olive drab seatbelt slings you sent me awhile back.)

I gave another seatbelt sling last night.  A young man was fishing in the little lake behind us.  He was quite impressed with the seatbelt sling that I was using, so I gave it to him and told him about slinging.org.  He seemed very interested.  Hopefully we'll have another new member.  The batch of seatbelts that ilpc sent me is different from the others.  It's a bit stiffer, which works out quite well.  It forms a nice pocket rather than just lying flat.  I'm making some really nice seatbelt slings these days.  Thanks, ilpc!

Do you mean the sling is longer overall or that the pouch is longer? I started with a piece of belt 175mm (7") long which gives me a pouch 145 mm long between the constrictions. For stones this is fine but for tennis balls perhaps another 25mm would be even better. Glad to see the design being used so widely. The intention was always to come up with something that would be quick and easy as well as effective.
 
Don't forget, it doesn't have to be car seatbelts. I just made a really nice one from the straps salvaged from my daughter's old school bag. I'll ask her to upload the pictures.
