: I've been reading along on this, with interest. What I don't get is
: the bonding. These are nylon, right? If so, they'll not bond
: well with epoxy, right? I dunno, what am I missing?

It works by the wedging effect. The epoxy acts like a circular wedge holding the fitting while under pull from a leash. It looks like there's ridges on the outside of the fitting that would hold it in place so it won't push in either.
