Troubleshooting

Rope feels stiff

Polypropylene can become stiffer in cold weather. Try coiling and storing it in a warmer environment when not in use. Gentle flexing can also help restore some pliability.

Knots are difficult to untie

Ensure you are not overtightening knots, especially under load. Using a fid or marlinspike can help loosen tight knots. The rope will become easier to untie with use.

Visible fraying or wear

Inspect the rope carefully for any signs of damage, such as broken strands or thinning. If significant wear is present, especially in critical areas, the rope should be replaced immediately for safety.
