Question about rope used for training. I ordered a 25 ft rope from mcmaster.com as recommended by an article I read. Problem is the ends were just cut bluntly and taped to keep from fraying. How can I secure the ends without tying a knot so I don't lose length. I'm thinking I could burn the ends but I've only done that with hockey laces, don't want to wreck my rope (plus it looks like something highly flammable).

You should be able to lightly burn/melt the ends with a lighter. We have done that when we've cut some of our old climbing ropes and other synthetic laces and ropes. You should be able to control the amount of burn/melt with a lighter. Too much, pull the lighter away.

Heat shrink tubing works great to "whip" the ends of your rope.
