I am seeking some advice or tips on using the beautiful rope I purchased from Ropes of Scale.
It is a 1mm beige polyester rope.
I used some for the first time today to lash the longboats.
When I cut the rope as I was handling the end to tie and secure it to the eyepin it unraveled quite dramatically.
Can I ask if there are any specifics I need to do to it to prevent this happening.
Do I need to seal the end after cutting to prevent unraveling?
What is the best way to seal it? Heat or glue? Which glue?
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts.
