If you're cutting with a hot knife, why do you need the
whipping?


It'll last longer and look better.



The lines I've cut at home, I wrapped with riggers tape
before cutting (tape and line) with a hot knife. Lasted so
far.


That's fine, but I'm talking about things that will last
around 8-10 years.

They make colored duck tape. ( is it OK to say 'colored' )

No. Chromatically diversified is the proper term.

Not sure anymore. If you paint over any tinted duck tape it
will last at least 2 years without delaminating and getting
little bits all over your boat/yard/driveway...

I learned it from having an awkward angle on the cabin
corners on the Tahiti we never repaired. The paint
preserved the tape and plastic over the holes where the
bulwarks should have been.
