The end is not dipped. The insulation end is cut and then heated and melted to seal  the fibers .  The black is the carbon after effect of that heating process.  While we are on the subject of the insulation  it is unfortunate that the original insulation has been discontinued by all of the reproduction people. I believe it has something to do with the amount of asbestos in the original covering. What is available now is a different material and does not look like the original. Bob
