NEW idea for Repairing a rope?

[RopeKnight]

:idea:I see that in theory it would be easy to repair cut strands in a rope by inserting a new strand that sufficiently bypasses the compromised area in both directions. essentially splicing new strands.

What do you think?

Just an idea wondering if anyone has tried this?

Or just make two smaller ropes.

We always used a cigarette lighter to 'mend' the frayed ends:lol:.

 

Unless it's a very expensive and very new rope I wouldn't even think about mending it. Too much time and effort for a non-guaranteed result. Cut it in 2 if 2 or more strands are compromised.

What is the LOLER approach to discarding a rope? Say a 48, 24 or 16 strand rope is damaged, how many strands would it take for each to be condemned?

If it looks dangerous then chop it ore bin it
