can it be used to cut and seal nylon / polypropylene webbing?

It will cut it but I'm not sure if it will seal it. It's mainly designed as a cutter.

I tried to use it to seal plexiglass to sheet metal and it did not work at all. It may work for your application.

No. I don't think so. I use it for rolls of thin paper to cover tables with. I would not use it for precise cutting.

I would think that this is not the optimum application for this particular product. I used it on rivets on my aluminum boat and it sealed completely.

The webbing is just like any type of nylon webbing. It is very strong and sturdy, and I bet it would hold the dock well and last for a good amount of time as long as no chemicals come in contact with the webbing. I used it sewn together and it worked well under pressure.

Come on look at the strength of this size rope. If your boat must be held by one of these lines only then NO but as you are looking to tie your boat off with 5 lines yes they will do the job. Just remember the breaking strength which for nylon line like this is 900lbs x circumference squared x 2.5 in this 3/8" diameter case it would be 900x(3.14x.375)2 x2.5 = 3,123 lbs. each line. This formula can be used for any diameter. The factor of 2.5 is for nylon, Dacron is 2.0 and Polypropylene is 1.4 and Manila rope is 1.0Knowing this you can determine any line/rope's breaking point and in your case with 5 lines it will be OK for your 5,000 lbs slipped boat.

Absolutely. I used it a few weeks ago for bonding two pieces of fabric together. The seam will be a bit stiff though, FYI. Not any worse then any other glue gun, but I wouldn't recommend it for light flowy fabric.

No. It can be used for seam binding, top stitching, and elastic application with appropriate attachments.

I agree with Sam. Coroplast is a brand name for corrugated plastic (yard signs are made out of it). I have only used it on styrofoam insulation but it goes thru "like butter". I think if you take it slow and let the heat do the work without forcing the knife until you get the feel of it, that it would probably work.

Honestly, I do not know. I have only used this tool on plastic ties. My best answer/guess is that it would depend on how thick the tie is. The cutting edge is at an angle so it might be able to do the job. As long as the gripper part of the tool can get a good hold of the tie to tighten it up, maybe.Based on the previous answers it is kinda 50/50. If you can afford the tool as a "give it a try", then I, personally might give it a try. Keep in mind that no one answering has ever tried it yet. Jim's answer is a good description on what it is designed to do.

Yes it will, I purchased this for window and door work. But have used it more to seal gaps around pipes, seams around chimneys, boiler rooms

Yes. I used it to cut through my metal bike u-lock. Make sure to wear safety goggles!

This unit will cut and fuse heavy duty seat belt webbing - down to acrylics. I dont knowhow well it works on finer synthetics, as I haven't used it for such - but I would imagine it would work fine. The only complaint I have with this product is that once the blade is installed in the unit, it will no longer fit in the storage case unless the blade is then removed.

i doubt it- the hose would squish in when you try to snug the tape down. if you used this to cover one of those metal 'hose repair fittings ' that always leak it would likely seal. It didnt seal a leaky pipe joint on a hot water boiler line - just dripped out around it. Good luck

I would say probably. It's meant for multiple types of materials. It does great on my nylon shoes. You could test in a small area to make sure it doesn't look bad.

You can cut the length to whatever you need, and then seal both ends. They are not reusable.

YES it can, as long as it is not too thick. If the hole is large, use a wood plug or short bolt/screw to fill the void and the Permatex as a sealer around it.
