Strong foam glue, and a lot of it A large clamp (big enough to hold 2 pool noodles) Something sturdy to mount the clamp to as you spin your rope At least 2 large rubber bands Tape Scissors Sandpaper

Feel the end of your pool noodle. It is porous? Or is it perfectly smooth? If it is smooth, you’ll want to sand or cut off the very end until you can feel a rougher surface on the end of your noodle. This gives the glue something to hold on to. Do this to all of the smooth ends of your noodles.

Sit to the side of your mega noodles, facing them. Your non-dominant hand should be closer to the clamp.

Do not use the heat gun in an enclosed environment, as the melting plastic may emit toxic fumes.
