Has anyone coated their Kevlar with wood glue?
I was looking at / thinking about baffles and it left me wondering about the Kevlar line below the baffle (assuming that Kevlar is attached to motor mount). Which left me wondering about how to protect Kevlar near engine ejection charge.
I often put some wood glue on the knots in Kevlar to keep them from loosening. I have read that putting CA glue on Kevlar weakens it. However, it seems that wood glue is pretty flexible and I am skeptical that it would weaken Kevlar too much. I also think that the reason that the traditional paper shock chord mounts work is because they are covered in glue which is actually what provides the fire resistance. I have found this with duct/duck-tape shock chord mounts -- if I coat the bottom edge with wood glue they hold up much better.
So wondering would a coating of wood glue help protect the first several inches of Kevlar? Added benefit would be that the first several inches of Kevlar would be less flexible and would not fold down accidentally getting stuck across motor ejection port under wadding.
