I'm interested.

1- What kind of machine will you be performing the tests on?

2- In addition to testing whipped and stitched splices, could I persuade you to test some splices that haven't been stitched or whipped? Or, have you already done that?

3- How much rope do you need per splice?

4- Could you test a splice in each end of a rope? As I think about that though, that would place a heavy load on the rope - twice and the rope may fail superficially.

5- How many could I send you?

Since a splice has a larger cross-sectional area than the rope, it almost makes you wonder if the splice could actually be stronger than the rope????
