Aramid Ice

[Paul Smith]

Anyone know who makes it and how to splice it? Bought it from Sherrill as it was sold as single braid, it has a core!

 

Thanks!

Sounds like Samson Ice Tail, but not if it has a core?

Eh? That link shows a 12 strand hollow braid which is very easy to splice, what have you got then? If it has a core then it's not the rope on your link, do you have a picture?

That's why I bought it! Easy to start splicing. I will get a picture later. I will be spending some time with Mr P after he's been to yours.

I am confused but never mind you need to watch this Video by Nick Araya, he will show you how to splice an eye in your cord.

Here is a pic.

 

I thought it was a single /hollow braid and would be easy to splice!

I've not seen that cord before, I'm assuming the core is not for strength, But disregard the splicing video until I find out more.

Having e-mailed Sherrill they say its made by Samson, checked their site and it looks like "Bail out" Ice should be blue but it is shown as a sick green/brown on their site! Sherrill are going to get back to me.

I dont think thats Bail Out, that has a really tight weave in the cover, and I would say more strands than yours.

Either way its not what I wanted!
