Troubleshooting

Rope feels stiff after use

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt or dirt, then allow to air dry completely.

Fraying at the ends

Secure the ends with tape, splices, or heat-shrink tubing to prevent further fraying. If fraying is extensive, consider cutting back to a sound section or replacing the rope.
