i cut the ends off my leeds band last night just so there is a little bit on them, and the ends have started to fray
will my band fall off? and if it does is there anything i can do to stop it?

also,
leeds was f**king amazing!

Get a lighter and melt the ends a little bit to crisp them up.

Burn the ends to seal them

[ViewFromTheAfternoon]

i honestly dont think i have enough material to burn it, i've cut it too short to burn the ends
any other ideas?

[matt123]

burn it ever so slightly then safety pin it to your wrist.
that's the only thing i can think of to save it.

pretty annoyed that when i got the metal thing off mine it had started to rip it so im just hoping it holds whilst it's tied to my wrist!

my mum has sowen the end of the band where it has frayed,
do you think that it will hold?

I like the bands this year.
This is all.

The band was ugly as my ass. Last years was so much nicer. Atleast it wasn't a seatbelt wristband like at download.

Download bands were sooooooo nice!!

But yeah, burn the ends for a split second then blow em out, normally does the trick

[ionicmoose]

I'd usually burn the ends, but if they're too short try dipping whatever remains of them in a bit of superglue, just make sure it dries before letting it touch your wrist again

they sound a bit horrible !

[Bradders]

I've had my 07 one on until just now. Took this one off straight away cos it's horrible. Also took the 07 off because I don't really want to be associated with the average kind of person that goes to Leeds fest nowadays...

I thought the wristbands were alright this year tbh
And I know it's a bit late but what I to cut the wristband down, instead of cutting it off, hold it tense and get a mate to put a lighter to it
then just pull it apart and blow the ends out
Melts the ends together nicely and is much easier than just melting the end bit after cutting

[BakewellTartBoy]

I actually rather like the leeds one...  

Any photos of the reading ones??

[Role Model]

To me this years feel much more cheaper than the ones from the last few years, much thinner material. I liked the design though, although I can see why other didn't.
