Actually
Extra-t is a MFP-Dyneema blend fiber core. Use Brion's instructions for a core to core splice they are easier to understand than Samson's. For 3/8" line you'll measure back 18" from the end for your 1st mark. Your 2nd mark will determine the size of your eye. When extracting the core at the 2nd mark you'll find a red yarn that runs parallel to the core. Cut it off and throw it away after you bunch the cover up against your belaying knot for balancing. It serves no purpose other than to identify that it's extra-t core. But if I were you I'd get 20' of line to pratice on before you tackle your new halyards. Extra-T can be a little snarky to splice. Good luck.
