I watched how you made the locked brummel on an old video you made. You mentioned the spectra was newly developed so perhaps new improved ways of making the splices have been developed.
The loop only needs to be big enough to cow hitch 5mm. So I am think 2-3" long.
I have also seen conflicting info on when you need to lock stitch eye splices in 12 strand dyneema. Some info I have read suggest stitching the bury and whipping at the throat. I recall other info suggesting lock Brummels don't require it. Guidance?
Thanks. |
This is a tad old so sorry if you have solved it already. Basically there are two kinds of eye splices in Amsteel, a brummel and a simple splice with a lock stitch. The brummel can be done easily if you have both ends or with one end using various tricks such as in the video or on my web site

They both work find and the strength is really determined by the taper. The bury and taper shown
HERE work fine and are easy to accomplish.
