Beeline Splicing?

[MOG]

done that tuttle, but tell you what! whipping it is harder than splicing it. I snapped two needles and now given up, think i was trying to go to close to eye.

 

break test would be interesting tho, trying to find a place atm. not going to use em until i know ay what the go is. not so easy when you dont speak german much and live in Switzerland....keep searching tho

Hey Mog, there was a guy called moray on treebuzz a while back who did some destruction tests on 8mm beeline with a class one double braid splice. Although not the right splice technically I seem to remember him getting some fairly high breaks. Have you looked on the splicing section of treebuzz?

Hi all,

I've never attempted splicing friction hitches but thought I would try starting with beeline. You'll have to excuse me if I'm trying to reiterate points already made but I'm finding it a tad tricky to get my head around.

Am I right in thinking 10mm beeline should be two locking brummels, with the cover still on?

Pushing your fid through the cover and core?

Also what length of a bury do I need? grog's knots states 72 times the diameter of the rope but that seems excessive.

Cheers

the old standard beeline 10mm is class 1, the new beeline blue 10mm is class 11. 8mm beeline is class11. use the samson directions for the splices-its nowhere near 72x diameter!!!!!!

Thanks, that's great. I'll get some pictures up shortly.
