Can someone describe the process for attaching a bolt snap to a 2dn stage hose or back up light?Thanks

Hi Henry!

Wrap cave line around the hose and through the bolt snap three or four times, get both ends of line on the same side, tie an overhand knot, go around the base of the snap, tie another overhand knot and then finish off with a bowline.

Cut the ends and melt with a lighter.

Hope you can work that out... is way easier to be shown

Brian
