Attaching the Tag

[Guest blackjak]

I want to know how TB owners out there have been attaching the tag to the TB. I tried a few different things, but just came up with a good one. I use the "drain chain" that comes with the TB tag, shorten it quite a bit, slip some heatshrink tubing over the chain, attach it to the TB tag and TB, then using a hotair gun I shrunk the tubing to the chain. This makes it impossible to undo the chain, makes it rust/water proof and looks pretty good! Any other ideas?

I've been using narrow cable ties lately. They are plastic, so they don't rust, and are quite tough.

Also use the very narrow nylon cable ties.

Same here. We call 'em zip strips.

I just use the original "drain-chain", but

shortened. Is there any concern of it coming

undone? /Alienpuppy

I'm not sure how quickly the chains will rust and break apart, but I think that you're okay. For me, the choice of fastening device depends on the morphology of the attached object. If the object has a hole of some sort in it, the chain works fine. However, if there is no hole, I use a cable tie. The cable ties will fasten down and hold securely at any indentation in the object.
