Default Flyline Tip Sinking

Hello everyone,

Just recently I've noticed that the tip of my snowbee xs floating line sinks slighty.
I've searched about this problem on the forum and it seems to be that water gets absorbed into the core of the line as the tip is not sealed.
Are there any methods of sealing the tip of the flyline so that this does not happen.

Thank you

I just lick the tip of mine with a lighter and roll it between thumb and finger . Works a treat .

Make sure the lines core has had time to dry, Dab the line end 1mm into aquasure. also try dashboard wipes or line slick gives a line a new lease of life
