...had a thread awhile back when trying to cut neat ends w out buying stuff. People say a little tape and a lighter , voila ! ....personally despise the mushroom shape ... Used an old porcelain electric fence insulator (The big round kind that can be a corner or continuous) . Friction tape line tight , then cut w knife. Push cut off end through the insulator. I cut a slot in some scrapwood placing the rest of rope below. Torch into it till it seals. Wait then remove. Resulting rope end is small tight even beautiful. Prob pull easier as well. Was so happy I resealed several ropes.
