I prefer to use masking tape when heating the end of a polypropylene rope instead of electrical tape. It tends to hold the fibers of the rope together enough for the molten polypropylene to descend into the fibers a bit and not splintering off. If I need a longer protected area than that, I use traditional lashing technique...

This was great, came across it looking for ways to finish climbing rope ends and think I'll give it a shot for that!
This is awesome and very very thorough. I'm thankful for your expertise!
Perfect. I just needed to seal up the ends of my "Beach" sign made of rope. Thanks so much! I'll be doing more rope signs in the future.
Easier and better is Heat Shrink
Great work, thanks from Scotland.
Just use adhesive lined shrink wrap and those ropes are not going to come apart. Get the good stuff though
yeah I don't see that fraying. good job

Looks good
Awesome! Thanks I am going to try this out.
That rope end won't be fraying anytime soon lol
Genius!!!
I'm pretty sure that won't fray. Thanks.
why not just back splice the end?
Too much trouble!! I want something to stop the raveling without going through all of that!!
nice!
Too much...
Cool : )
Holy overkill
That's right!!!
