Talk:Knots/Rope

Preparation for use
This chapter needs a section on cutting rope and preparing the ends for use by a process called whipping, to prevent unraveling or fraying. It could include conventional whipping by using a piece of string or thin line, dipping in a liquid plastic, fusing with heat, and so on. &mdash;QuicksilverT @ 03:54, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
