The use of thermally fused vinyl is possible for applications with greater commercial requirements; nevertheless, the process is also feasible for domestic applications. The next layer is called extruded bonded, and it adheres to the core. If you discover that the vinyl gets somewhat damaged over time as a result of wear and tear, then you can simply spray paint the chain links any color that is required, and this will assist a great deal.

The sizes of these will often range from 1 3/8 inches to 2 3/8 inches, but if you so wish, you may also get them in smaller dimensions.
