The application is trailing edge binding on stunt kites. I've built a few kites with cold cut edges and I'll see how well they stand up. I've had single folded cold cut edges fray on deltas and rokkakus.

Until I put my glasses on , that photo with the leather weights looked like you were making pancakes on a black iron griddle.

They are my favorite weights as I can PLOP em in place and they dont shift my work arond..

EXPENSIVE but worth it..

Lead shot is not cheep and to make a dozen weights I used almost 2 bags...
