  1. BOX: HowTo Zip Tie Like a Pro JellyBox Build: 10_Quadruple (link directly to Zip Tie Tips t=0) Let's look at how to use zip ties to their full potential. _________________________________________________________________ Title: Tip: Zip Tie 'Head' Placement Always put the head of the zip tie inside the box. This way, any potential sharp edges can't hurt you. Underneath the bottom panel is also good. Why? When zip ties are tightened and clipped, they can have sharp edges left around the head capable of scratching fragile human skin. This is especially true when using a zip tie gun!

  2. This is especially true when using a zip tie gun! Title: Tip: Tightening Zip Ties With Vise Grips Use a gentle pumping motion to tighten the zip tie. You are stronger than the zip tie! Pulling too hard may break it. Which is OK; just get another one. Title: Tip: Keep the Head Away from the Sides New Section 1 Page 2

  3. When the head of the zip tie touches the side you can't pull it tighter. Keep the head in the mid-air for the best results. Title: Tip: Using a Zip Tie Gun Zip tie guns are the fastest way to use zip ties because they tighten AND cut the tie in one motion. Magic! Disadvantage: zip ties guns won't get the ties as tight as vise grips. We say: Use vise grip for tightening all bearings and smooth rods, use zip tie gun for all else. New Section 1 Page 3
