These ropes are for our Seaplanes at NW Seaplanes. The ropes need to be sealed so they do not come apart because they stay on the floats of the airplanes. I use Heat Shrink material and also use Plasti Dip to do this.

This was great, came across it looking for ways to finish climbing rope ends and think I'll give it a shot for that!

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.

Just use adhesive lined shrink wrap and those ropes are not going to come apart. Get the good stuff though

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...
