even local shop thought this was cool... after i showed them... mark the area where you want to cut with a sharpie.. then dribble some super glue on to the hose,, where you want to cut it...wrap this with electrical tape.. then get your hose cutters( the one used for cutting this type hose )then cut the hose.. unwrap the tape.. and will see there is no flairing of the ends of the braid ..this does not affect the hose at all. and makes it easier to install the A/N fittings.
I presume it's the super glue which prevents the flairing of the braid? I'll have to give that a try.
That is a clever trick. The glue holds the braid in place and does not increase the diameter so the fitting can be assembled without fear of the dreaded unraveling of the braid and ensuing finger stab,
The down side is that whenever I attempt to use crazy-glue style of adhesives, it end with a good story where I glued myself to something.
I use the angle grinder with a zip wheel to cut the braided hose after i heat shrink the cut zone.
In reply to cordes :
yes,,but use some electrical tape after use superglue the place you want to cut it.. the tape will not stick to the superglue..it will come off easy. after you cut the hose
