I use that stuff to seal/tidy up the ends of lines I've cut with a hot knife. I dip the end of the line into the can and then let the line drape and dry for a day. |

A back splice is too bulky in many applications and almost always on large lines. Sewn whipping followed by a hot knife on the end is the best in my experience. You can get a hot knife adapter for a soldering gun which works quite well. I've used this or something similar from other vendors for years on lines whose ends were sealed with a hot knife. http://tinyurl.com/4dopf9z Also used it to mark off 25' lengths on anchor lines. I used "sewn on" whipping when I used manila rope. The "real" whipping looks better than the "dip'n'whip," but I'm not so anal that I spend a lot of time thinking about the ends of lines. If they don't unravel, I'm happy with them. |

I prefer manila because it leaves a really nice rope burn around the neck of those the state says I should execute. Plus, manila rope is less expensive than nylon rope, and we corporate entities have to save every dime in order to make our executive team richer. Now, "Ernie," I'm about finished with you. Go play with Snotty Ingersoll and the rest of the right-wing morons. |

Manila rope has a distinct advantage over nylon. What is it? I'll give you a minute to google the answer. |
