Can you do that with Sta Set double braid?


Sure, just pull the core out, seperate it into two or three
strands, and proceed as normal

That probably wouldn't work but you can do several tricks
with the core to make an unfrayable rope-end and stopper.
Alternatively, you could combine a conventional stopper knot
& whipping so that it couldn't be undone without a knife.

Nice rope work is time consuming, a big no-no in today's
American society, but it can be very practical and it
certainly sets apart a well-rigged boat to the discerning eye.

C'mon, its not that big a problem, just use an electrical snake.
