Splicing high-tech double braid.

[jeffh]

Just wanted to correct my ealier post, you SHOULD NOT have to snap against a belay too much until the very end of running home a covered Edurabraid eye splice. As with a normally constructed core dependent line (with an extra thick covered line like NE Ropes flight line you'd take the 48 diameter measurement only on the core-if your retaining the cover over the eye), the proportion of measurements offered by Brion's method allow adequate slack in the cover until the last inch or so of burying, when a little helpful snapping comes into play.

As I said earlier with endurabraid it (the cover) does have a rounded relatively "forgiving" nature and makes running this splice home pretty easy. V-100 and T-900 are two examples of core dependent lines, from NE Ropes, that require a little more coaxing to get home, as their covers seem to run a little tighter in their weave.
sorry if there was any confusion.
