There is a thin wall shrink wrap generally used to cover electrical wires, usually black and more like rubber than plastic, but tears more easily than the other.

I’ll try it and see how it works then let you know.

These two images of my first attempt at cutting the Teufelberger Ocean Polyester friction cord and then using the heavy duty heat shrink 19mm - 6mm. I’m still not sure how I’m going to use the cord with the pinto pulley on my landyard, the eye to eye will be fit better though.

I find that the best place to put whipping twine is about 3 or 4 inches down the rope one you've tucked it back into itself!! ?

 

In seriousness though, as long as you are monitoring the knot and making sure that it has a good tail on it, whatever you choose to do should be fine.

That splicing looks very impressive, if I could learn how to splice I would make my own eye to eye. Are the tails on my knots long enough?
