Default An idea to help prevent zippering

Another one of those sitting-at-my-desk moments.

Found some plastic tubing I snagged from the trash at work and thought it would help prevent zippering. So I sized up my kevlar and marked where the cord and body tube end meet. Tied a knot, slid the tubing on past the knot, tied another knot and then split the difference. Then I threw in some glue for good measure.

Thoughts?

That's a fine idea. I use silicone tubing, though. Much 'softer.'
