How to stiffen webbing

[Candiru]

Any ideas on how to stiffen webbing? I’m in the process of building a pony mount and the webbing is too flexible.

Buy stiffer webbing. It can't be more than a few dollars.

It’s a specialty size that fits the small low profile dive rite cam.

Maybe soak/coat with epoxy?

Has anybody had success with this process?

I've had success using PVC pipe adhesive. Just brush on a coat, let it dry, repeat as necessary.

Cut from a wider strip of heavier webbing and heat seal the raw edge. Not ideal but could work and doesn't destroy your existing webbing if it doesn't

The reason I’m attempting to stiffen the material is the grommet I put through it pulled out after 10 hours of use. I can’t add an additional piece of webbing as the grommet will not accommodate the thickness. My thought is if I stiffen the matial the grommet Is less likely to pull out.

If you just want localized stiffness then the PVC cement or something like Shoe-Goo might work.

This is a picture of the design. This grommet hasn’t failed yet but the other one I made did.
