End to end splice double braided polyester rope 

Thanks. Good luck with splicing

Explain how/why

+Conrad Senior For a prussic, I'd use a square or figure 8 and hang the knot clear of the prussic. There is not really a good reason to use a continuous line. As he stated the splice does cause a loss of strength, which I'd think automatically disqualifies it for life safety, especially when there is really no need for it.

Wilfred Darr yes you can splice using the core, and it's stronger than a knot. just not this way. this is for super light use apparently.

Use a hollow braid rope (tenex / tenex tec or similar) then do a locked brummel with the tails burried 180° back on themselves. And actually, the locked brummel holds all the weight (90%-100% of rope strength), the burried tails are just for aesthetics.

Yeah I'm unsure of this method (no offense!) - I side-gig doing eye splices mostly for halyard etc replacement in the sailing community, haven't made an end-to-end splice yet in double braid BUT, I'd think this wouldn't hold up... I'm about to do one now for a customer, using the method I found at Machovec online... Seems more trustworthy/instinctive 😊

Have you tried our tape yet? www.premiumropes.com/premiumropes-83503-splicing-tape-premiumropes

We recommend to add an extra cover instead, as explained in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hnIp-Uzlpqs.html

Good point, thanks, I didn't think of that. Unfortunately the line is too short so I need to extend it, though I suppose I could extend the line first and then add another cover to that.... I would have preferred to replace the whole line with high modulus line, then strip the cover for the part inside the boom. Unfortunately getting at the pulley system inside the boom requires drilling out the gooseneck of the boom, a time consuming and difficult job.

Good luck!

It's better to stitch the splice. Especially the middle one.

@@Premiumropes Got it, thank you. Got to learn how to stitch as well now... 😁

+BLAGGIN No problem at all.

The weight of the camera is not the problem with camera lines. Sag is... The longer the line the more sag it will have. You can counter sag to some degree by applying more tension to the line which this type of cordage is very much capable of doing but even if you could achieve 80% of it's 1600 or 2500 lbs breaking strength (at which point the rope starts to stretch) you will find the line will sag also. Basically you have to test it to see how much sag it will have at the length you need the line to be knowing you wouldn't be able to apply anywhere near the tension for it to break (that is with manual methods) and if you could most likely the sag wouldn't be that much less...

We advise the stitched whipping at the end of the video. In the new version it's also shown. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xQClAvoeXO4.html

Yes, there is loss of strength and this technique is meant for situations where equal thickness is more important. If you want to keep full strength, you should use this method: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xQClAvoeXO4.html

Thank you

Hi Charles, I recommend the largest fid possible depending on the strecth of the cover. See if the 5/8 fits in the empty cover

It works the same as splicing an eye on only 1 end. For a 10mm double braided rope it doe require at least 1,5m rope, ex the length of the eye, to splice.

For 10mm rope I use 7.5mm Selma did.Works every time. Chris

Noted. Thanks for your comment and recommendation.

There are good reasons, for exaple if you want do build a Pinto Pulley, a knot would make problems going through the eye.

use a fishermans knot or figure eight bend for your continuous loop

Even though tying might seem easier, a knot reduces the working load of the rope with about 50%. An eye splice reduces the working load with only 10% on average, that's why we recommend splicing!

Or.... we are happy to splice that rope for you! www.premiumropes.com

Won’t work in a continuous line furler. A knot will jam. I suspect you’re just trying to be funny.
