whipping or dipping?
"Edgar" wrote in message ... It does not take long to whip the ends. If you cut a synthetic rope with a hot knife it is a simple matter to flange the end out a bit so even a common whipping, put on in seconds, will not be able to slip off the end. If you're cutting with a hot knife, why do you need the whipping? Scotty |

Just to make it look shipshape. Force of habit too-there were no synthetic
ropes when I learned to splice and whip. "Scotty" wrote in message . .. "Edgar" wrote in message ... It does not take long to whip the ends.
