Excellent....I've made a fair few mini whips for people as hat bands and key rings, never thought to try it in nylon........

Looks good....

Thanks guys...here is the recipe I used.
6 in nail.
Single strand paracord core 2 ft loaded with sink drain or lamp chain.
8 plait to 6 to 4.
It cracks pretty good! (sounds like breaking a carrot.)
And a couple more pics with better light. That little TH was harder to tie than the big 'uns.
