Sealing nylon rope ends - finally cracked it!

[FenceFurniture]

Mick, I already know how to back splice, and eye splice (and do whippings, lashings etc). Been doing it on and off for 55 years, but that doesn't work so well on braided rope with a foam centre.

If you can backsplice any of the ropes pictured in the first post, I'll definitely buy you a beer!

Sorry mate! To me, nylon rope means three core strand like the old hemp and sisal ropes.

Can you now untie me please?

That is my understanding too.

Hmmm. It's a tricky one, but I would have thought that nylon rope would be any rope made from any material at all, as long as it's restricted to ....nylon.

Hi,
Sorry, I did not look at the pictures very well, and just assumed it was like the Nylon rope I carry in my ute on which I have done a back splice on one end and an eye splice on the other. That is why I have liked every entry that mentioned splicing.

About 50 years ago when I was doing a lot of sailing any synthetic rope got branded as nylon by everyone and I still do that.

Most of my working life was the maritime industry and we usually had a hot knife. Wrap the part to be cut with electrical tape then cut through the tape wrapped rope. If you dont have a hot knife then wrap with tape then cut with a sharp knife then seal the end with a lighter.
Just a moment...
