Splicing

[Quixoticgeek]

Having received a hank of braided dyneema cord in the group buy (the whoopie sling stuff). Can anyone recommend a good set of instructions on how to splice the end? I would like to make some shorter lengths with neatly spliced ends.

Thanks

Julia

I have seen some U Tube vids on this. Sorry I can't find a link for it though.

You can tuck the end in, assuming it's hollow braid. Tape up the end to a piece of wire and poke the wire through the braid about 3cm from the end. Let the wire exit about 4cm further up from there and gently pull the end out until you can undo the tape and free the wire. Then smooth everything down and the loose end will disappear back into the braid. It's simpler than it sounds

If you want a loop Google "dyneema locked brummel"
