I got some plastic-cloth, nylon maybe, ribbon to make a watch band. I was told to cut it with heated scissors or some shit to prevent fraying.
How do? How can I get the scissors hot enough to do the job? I mean if I stuck them in the oven or some shit the handle will melt and I wont be able to hold them even.
A candle wont heat them evenly will it?
You can cut it like normal, then use a lighter to tidy up the ends. The heat will make any frayed pieces shrivel up for a nice clean look.

This.
Tried heating edge with lighter, gave a jagged edge.
Tried heating up scissors and then cutting but that didn't work very well just made goopy stands come off the edge.

Also: put tape on both sides and proceed with lighter

Heat a knife blade on the stove burner and then press to cut on a solid surface.
I just couldn't get it to come out great with fire or hot cutting so I just hit it a little with fire and then soaked the end in fabric glue and it looks like it should be good.
