There are multiple options to prevent rope ends from fraying and splitting. The most commonly used is a process known as whipping. This involves wrapping twine at the ends of the rope and secure them among themselves.

Why do you whip and fuse the ends of the rope?

Rephrase your question as it makes no sense. * Added - The question is understood. You whip or fuse the rope ends to prevent fraying and unraveling. Whipping is typically used on ropes of non-manmade materials, such as hemp. Ropes made of manmade materials, such as Nylon or polyester, can be heated and fused at the ends instead, although some sailros still prefer the more attractive use of whipping. In addition to these choices, whipping glue is sold, and in different colors, making it easy for a novice to prevent fraying of non-manmade materials.

How do you keep the ends of a rope from separating?

try burning the ends of the rope * Added - Heating the ends of a polyester or Nylon rope is the most common method used, although it generally does not present a good appearance. For hemp rope or larger diameters of Nylon or polyester, whipping is the best method. However, you can purchase a whipping glue that you dip the ends in as well. Whipping is done by using a small line, usually of the same material as the rope being whipped. A long (4 to 5 times the diameter of the rope being whipped) narrow loop is made and laid on the rope end, loop facing away from the end. Then, very tightly, and beginning near, but slightly away from rope end, wrap the line around the rope, each turn alongside the one before it until you are near the narrow loop. Insert the end of the line into the loop. Now, pull the free end that is extending from underneath the turns you made, at the rope end. This wil pull the end of your line underneatht the tight turns, securing it. Trim both line ends and you're done and have a beautiful whipped rope end.
