A little sheath slippage is no big deal. yes, re-cut and melt. Try to get the core and sheath to fuse together well at the end, helps prevent further slippage.Quote:

:2thumbs:Thanks Tom
Anyone else use athletic tape on the ends of their ropes to prevent slippage? I find it works great. Plus its amazing how often a little tape comes in handy in canyoneering/first aid.
Just be careful to not put too much tape. Could cause it to bind in some spots when pulling...
