: I squeezed the tubing shut with some long-nose pliers while it was
: still hot and that pretty much sealed it off. Then I folded it over twice
: so that the end was hidden in the fold and put the screws through it.

You could also fold the melted end back into the body of the webbing and no "melted plastic" will show. Fold it in 1", and the screw will hold it in place.
