Just some long form splice content. Not instructions, just some thoughts. Thanks for watching! Courant Squir Pink Dragon: arbsession.com/courant-squir-... Teufelberger Drenaline Splice: www.teufelberger.com/pub/medi...
Really nice work. I have 4 hanks of Squir from Maple Leaf Ropes, all with sewn eyes because they told me that it couldn't be hand-spliced. Go figure.... - Patrick
I wonder if tuefelberger had plans in the works for the splife program while developing drenaline, perhaps the cover of that rope specifically is slightly overbuilt to compensate? Just a thought
I think it’s possible. Other ropes that I’ve spliced like Samson Mercury or Sterling HTP have very weak covers and I’ve broken them with my own weight while messing around with making new splices.
Any way to add a picture of the whip stitching and did you do the yank test getting the 6,550 lbs with stitching or without please? Great description guy, worthy of Fids and Fibers.
It had stitching and broke in the crossover area. For my stitching I do something very similar to what Teufelberger describes for whip stitching and for these I do it like eight picks from the throat of the eye.
