Hi, Moderate success in the fact that Ive had some failures and some success, more and more of the latter thankfully! Problems with the sirius include, the jacket having more strands making it hard to pull the core back into the jacket, and the usual difficulties in the Y of the splice, doesn't seem to be enough room for everything to fit, although both times ive tried sirius (12 &14mm) the ropes had already been loaded. I'm currently using 1mm piano wire. We'll see how it goes, more practice needed I think!

Crab and munter?

I'm new to splicing, Ive had some moderate success with marlow boa, now trying to move on to sirius in much larger diameters. Seems to be a lot more difficult! Not to mention I managed to break my wire fid yesterday and subsequently smashed myself full force in the love spuds...

I assumed it was because the portawrap has a 10:1 SWL ratio? As even the large bollards are only rated about about 2000kg which would give a pulley of only 40kn?

I have the stein invert-a-wrap friction device, Working load of 750kg. It has been my assumption that in order to use it effectively I need a bottom sling to tie it to the tree of equal rating (750kg working load). In my logic this would lead to the use of a pulley block of 2x the rated capacity (150kn) and comparable top sling (1500kg) for the anchor point. Assuming this to be correct, although I stand to be corrected.... My small friction device would require a a top sling of around 22mm in diameter which is about the largest size commonly available on most online arb shops. So really my questions are: 1. Is my maths correct? 2. Doesn't it seem a bit bizarre that one of the smallest friction devices requires one of the largest ropes available? 3. What are people who are using much larger friction devices using to attach their block?

Why I have to put the toilet seat down, I never understood the bloody logic of it, if its rude for me to leave it up, surely its rude for her to leave it down! -

No offense taken, I cant really be accused of being a labour leftie, the most left I've ever voted was conservative....
