Knut,

I thought about doing that, but I don't think it would work. When the bury leg is loaded there would be nothing keeping the splice together since dyneema splices rely on the finger trap effect to hold. Of course when the cover portion is loaded it wouldn't be a problem, but that doesn't really solve it.

I was thinking about a bury where they join, then switching the bury and the cover, for another leingth of bury. Conceptually this works in my head, but before I go start destruction testing line just to be sure, I would rather have input about ow others are making them. It seems silly to reinvent the wheel. This just can't be that poorly known of a splice that I can't get any information on how they are made.
