How to stop Bee Line fraying??

[PCTREE]

OK any ideas short of whipping to stop Beeline fraying??? I put tape on the ends but with repeated tying and mostly UNTYING of stopper knots always pulls the tape off then it frays in seconds..

Any ideas as it can't be melted....

Super glue, applied carefully.

Yup then they can call me Edward Beeline fingers

Paul, don't say stuff like that while I have food in my mouth!

I've just given in and I take the time to whip the ends; - use Nick's doubled twine method and it goes quite quickly.

Nice tutorial!

Whipping man, never had any luck with tape. If you're not splicing it I'd whip it.

Bit of JB Weld for the non-whip initiate. Used it many times. Works like a champ.

What about one of the liquid whips?

Whip it. The dips work okay, but a real whipping is best.

Just take the time to learn how to do it. You'll never look at the end of a rope the same way!

He's right lol, the ends of all my climbing lines are whipped. I milk a bit of cover off the core so I only whip the cover also, that way the rope is free to milk.

That's the way to do it.

Actually it does, Riverrat. I'm beginning to think that these fancy whipping guys have a good thing going. The JB Weld on my Poison Ivy cracked in half today.

My whippings don't crack!

I can't believe ya'll poo poo'ed my super glue suggestion. I stopped melting/taping my lines ages ago. You gotta apply it just right, but when you do it WORKS.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I've used this with some success.

I do it the same way Butch. Fast and easy and it looks good.
