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. What do *YOU* use manila rope for. |
