Challenge: Breakaway Neck Lanyard

Oh yeah, I was thinking about putting another sheath around the whole thing, but that would defeat the purpose (duh). Although, it might work to cut sections of a millimeter larger paracord sheath (with the strands pulled out) and use fabric glue inside, around each breakpoint. This shouldn’t keep it from breaking apart, I’d think. Or, buffing the melted areas with a dremel tool might be simpler (as with the sanding suggested). That would give it a polished surface, and definitely would not reinforce it.
