Sir, how can I bind metal trusses and bars using CABLE wire? Since I cannot weld some metal trusses because the insulator will burn , I am planning to bind some trusses for added protection by tying several loops of high grade cable wire together. How can I tie off the ends? Are there fasteners for cable wires? Where is the best place to buy cable wire? Thin cable wire diameters will do as long as I use plenty of coils wrapped around such bars or trusses, the problem is how to hold the cable wire in place. (based on the principle in union there is strength) Do I use ring clamps to tie cable wires together? Salamat po.

Isn't insulation materials fireproof/fire retardant in nature?
Why don't you just sacrifice the insulation material during welding and replace it afterwards.

Thank you sir for your suggestion regarding welding my trusses. I will just use a cutter and re-glue afterwards.

kung ayaw mo magwelding sir e baka pupwede ang magfabricate ka ng steel bracket (or some kind of a gusset plate) then drill holes tapos bolt on.
