Dyneema short splice
For reasons of my own, I needed a 12-strand Dyneema splice that is not the standard long bury, nor even the shorter tuck-bury proposed by NER and Samson. So I made an all-tuck splice, by following each strand of line in the standing part with one from the, er, other part (is there nomenclature for that?). Tedious, but tidy if done carefully, and six full tucks did not make an unreasonably long splice. Before I have it destruction tested, can anyone tell me if there's an obvious reason (other than that it takes 1000 times longer than a regular bury splice to do) that this is not commonly used? Seems elegant enough, and will meet my needs perfectly if it works.
Thanks,
Ben
