Hi David,
I also have some hi-tech lines that won't seal with the hot knife, so I whipped the ends with whipping twine. There are many videos online if you google, "whipping a line".
It's so easy, I whip the ends of just about all the lines on the boat, including my docklines. I melt the ends, but whip them to prevent separation.
I also found heat shrink tubing in white somewhere, but haven't tried that yet

Related to this dipping of ends- I got a new mainsheet last summer out of VPC and the non-spiced non-wipped end is fraying badly. I found I could not melt it as I was accustomed to doing to seal the end. What is the best way to deal with this? Dave
