![]() Estes offers 100 lb., 200 lb., and 300 lb. test strength Aramid Cord now for shock cord: https://estesrockets.com/products/aramid-cord
Kind regards, Jeff Jenkins aka: Faithwalker NAR #46879 SR |

![]() Nice, the 100# cord looks to be a similar fine weave to the kind Apogee sells, and 0.53/ft rather than 0.64/ft. Kind of silly that the 300# stuff comes in short 6.5 ft lengths, though.

![]() Prices seem a bit steep.
One can get 50' of 2000lb rated Kevlar (Aramid) cord on ebay for $26.

So are we going to have the Amamid slice instead of the Estes dent?

![]() Use both enough Kevlar cord (shorter than sticking out of body tube) and enough elastic cord tied to it, and you get neither a Kevlar cut nor an Estes Dent in a balsa cone.
IMPROPER building alone results in these issues.
