Default nyline line bitter end repair

Here's a trivial one...

I have some nylon dock lines with ends that need repairing. I tried fusing
them with a cricket lighter, but ended up with charring and partial fusion.

What does it take to make those nice neat line ends like they come from the
store, and can I do it at home with commonly available stuff. How about a
big, electric soldering iron? Would that do it?


Try taping the ends with masking tape and then using the Bic, or a red hot
knife!
