It looks a bit like the "hold left button and squiggle about a bit knot", only ever attempted by those skilled in the art of fine knottery.

That was my first thought as well; bin the fabric abrading pieces of aluminium and tie some knots. But some people did not get the brain-part that does applied 3-dimentional geometry and topology under field conditions, so I did not want to come across as judgemental.

Ever since the Summer of Ashley[1] these things have come more or less natural to me., but I know I'm not normal.
