Proper way to cut and protect webbing end?

I guess you could do the same thing with the hot knife, but you might have to apply it a few times.

Get the blade red hot and it cuts and finishes the cut at the same time... one pass... bam... you're done.

Whew! Thanks to all. Great suggestions and I'm ready to rip, er cut and cauterize!

I melted (used one of those long grill-type lighters) and then glued the ends of my hog harness. I used a water proof, durable, clear epoxy glue to further toughen the ends and prevent fraying.

Sear makes a great tool for cutting webbing. Looks like a pruning shear but holds about a 4" razor blade. Makes beautiful cuts. Then I use my propane pluming torch.
Works like a champ!

I use a machete and then seal the end with Hubba-Bubba. Works fine. Just dont use Bubblicious, it does not last as long.
