1/4" dyneema lifeline questions

[rdykiel]

Hi I'm hoping to replace my lifelines with 1/4" dyneema. Never done that and trying to learn how to make eye splices. I have 2 questions:

- is the splicing wand you are selling online a good tool for this, and if yes, what size?

- is it ok to use lashings to tie the line at the bow pulpit, and if yes, is tarred seine acceptable there (what size), or some other material?

Thanks
