What is the best way to bond nylon webbing to itself? Mechanical? Heat? Epoxy?

Thread, stitched in a box and then "x-ed" or so I've been told.

Before I ask my wife - Can you do this with a home sewing machine?
Depends on how heavy duty it is, the machine I mean. My wife's will not sew webbing. I gotta get her a better machine for X-mas

But you local shoemaker can<G>
My wife has one that does, it depends on the machine. And while the X is the best pattern, if there isn't room, it may be too much work for the machine. In that case put a single line through the box. Of course, test it by yanking the heck out of it to be sure it'll stay.

Take it to your local upholstery shop. Or a shop that does auto upholstery.

U can use a sewing maching no problem.. I sew webbing alot.... it's easy stuff to work with. Like mentioned above, sew a box then an X from corner to corner inside the box. TO stop your nylon from fraying use heat<lighter> to melt the ends.

I dropped the webbing off – ready on Monday!
Interestingly, Portland, which has a population of 250,000 when the surrounding towns are included, only has 4 shoe repair shops remaining.
When I was a kid and loafers were the hot fashion item, my mom would have a pair resoled at least 2 times before they were thrown out.
The owner of the shoe shop equated himself to a dinosaur in a world of fast moving monkeys.
