rope, fire and safety

[mcjtom]

Would a cheap nitrocellulose transparent nail polish (diluted with acetone?) work for finishing rope ends?

I started tying the Constrictor

great result !

Would a cheap nitrocellulose transparent nail polish (diluted with acetone?) work for finishing rope ends?

good idea,
not that i know my nail polishes,
i think it'd go well on the trimmed end of a constrictor knotted taper

the fumes would kill me

but slower drying?  easier to manage that a tube of superglue,
and there's the type of nail polish, not sure of names, that sets softer

my new favorite thing - superglue stored in the fridge - not that i use it for cord stuff at the moment - but lately car plastic, and magnets on my glasses to stop dropping them!, ... and goodness knows what else, now that the tube doesn't go off after opening. sitting it in a bottle
