Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
The 1.2mm stuff arrived today,
Splices like Amsteel, just more fiddly... definitely need my glasses on!

I can send out lengths of this stuff, 12p per metre (add on 60p for postage)
PM me.
You can see the dye has come off a bit onto my finger, but I think I can live with that.

Good luck with the 1.2 gadget, I hope that the dye issue is ok, I was thinking, can't they add the dye when manufacturing the plastic?
I'll have 15m of the 2.5 please too!

AArgh, what foul sorcery and trickery have you used to do that? I've been trying with 15 amp fuse wire which is the thinnest I have and still rigid enough but can only get 2 or 3 mill up the middle.
I've got the 500m reel on 2.5mm single braid now.
And the good news is, it's worked out even cheaper!
Costs 55p per metre.
If you fancy some, PM me.

Getting to the end of the grey 1.2mm, is there any hunger for more? Looks likely we could get it for 10 - 11p/m next time.
The 2.5mm is going down slowly, but surely... that's 55p/m now.
And finally I got a 300m reel of 0.55mm (100lb break), just to try it out... that's 4p/m

This Chinese 2.5mm Dyneema (7/64" Amsteel) failed at 716kg (1578kg)
Both dyneema samples broke where the buried end ended. I did taper them off, but not as well as perhaps I should have.

Thanks for the reviews
