Nick,
That makes sense and that's why I wondered why some ropes are listed as spliceable one end only. Looks to me like the process you just described makes splices in both ends feasible. But the guy...

Re: Spliceable (eye, 1 end)

I talked to Samson about their Yellow Jacket rope [Spliceable (eye, 1 end) ] and they referred me to Sherrilltree. It seems that Samson makes Yellow Jacket rope as a proprietary product for...

Well, we seemed to have tangled ropes here - LOL!

Well this thing has kinda "moved" from the orginal inquiry, but I've learned a lot and hope it hasn't been too much of a drift.

Nick, I think the answer to your question is yes, but there is...

Thanks Brion - that's encouraging

One more question if I may, that has puzzled me for some time. I notice that some ropes are described as spliceable on one end. How is it that a rope can only be spliced on one end, and I guess one...

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...

It is claimed that splices retain up to 100% of the rope's strength. That kind of strength retention, as explained by Brion, SherrillTree, Samson Rope, One Rope 1, comes from the integrity of the...

Duuuhhh...Sorry I switched gears and didn't even realize it #$%#

Very astute, Nick, of course from your posts that I've read, that's pretty SOP for you.

I'm sorry, I was splicing Velocity again, which is double braid. I "unburied" the splice and re-buried it. I...

Cover slack removal in the eye...

For the life of me, I can't seem to get the slack out of the cover in the eye. The eye looks pretty good, but when I "milk" the cover in the eye from one side of the eye to the other, it bunches up...

I'm concerned about how to properly perform and terminate an eye splice in a rope. A properly done splice purportedly retains 90% or better of the rope's strength and I want to get every bit of the...

Nick,

Just so there's no misunderstanding, I'm not implying that stitching or whipping are not essential. I just want to be sure that the strength of the splice (not the security of the splice) does...

Thanks again, Brion. That's the way I see it as well.

I don't see any way to do a PM (private message), but I want to say this, so I'll take a bit of liberty to say it here:

Thanks, Brion. That's a relief. If the cover is the strength then my concern goes away.

Here's a link to three pics of the splice; you can't really tell much, except that its a splice.

A concern about the Arborist Splice

Iím new to braided rope splicing, but I have done 6 eye splices in Velocity rope following Samson Ropeís instructions. They work and look good. After watching Brionís splicing video, I now know how...
