On a possibly related topic, I have a few lines on my boat that have inner cores that do not melt. Unlike with my Sta-Set lines, I can’t use a hot knife to cut and melt the inner core and outer jacket together. There used to be a product called Whip-end Dip (or something) for sealing the ends of lines. The newer version of this product is water based and ineffective at holding the inner core and outer jacket together. Short of properly whipping the lines (not in my current skill set), has anyone found a dipping product that works for this purpose?

We have had enough rain from two different hurricanes to fill my yard up and *not one drop* of water has made it past the hatch onto the V-berth 😊 I rate this is a success! Note if your hatches are not cosmetically challenged and you want to try this, tape off the area so you only get it where you want it. It is really thick goop and you won’t be able to paint a thin line freehand. In my case this is a stop-gap until I send the hatch in for repair or get a new one and the black rubber doesn’t really stand out anyway.
