In Response To: Knotless bungie? (Matthew)

I terminated my bungees by making loops at the ends, one inside the other. Then I whipped the loops with nylon string. Then I finished them off with heat-shrink tubing from Radio Shack. Mind, this hasn't been torture-tested yet, but it is very neat looking and seems to be very strong.

: Does anyone out there have the secret of the knotless bungie, or other ideas
: for securing them? My square knots keep loosening up. I used soft padeyes
: made of webbing so can`t just knot the ends.

: Thanks
