Looking forward to learning a new useful rigging skill. You make this look easy!

[@wojciechaugustyniak3866]

That works very well! Thank you for this video.

Use a bromel lock, no stitching required.

[@AndyJarman]

Not sure the dyneema will not fray if a larks head hitch is used on that block's becket. Might be better off with a shackle theough the becket and use a lark's head hitch on the rounded shackle shaft.

Now do a vid about cleaning bloodstains off dyneema, (there's always blood whenever sailmaking needles are used.)

great video! what is the remaining %of strengh with a such splice?

[@Premiumropes]

It is twice the material but not twice the strength. So for safety we refer to the breaking load of a single braided rope.

[@MrHassancehef]

thank you

[@rocketappliantist4969]

How strong are these loops? Will this be stronger than putting a brummel splice on each end and a girth hitch on each end, or should I use one of these through the block and a girth hitch on just one end?

[@Premiumropes]

You can find the breaking strenghts on our website. The loops are stronger especially for a short distance. www.premiumropes.com/dyneema-loop

[@Dirt_McGirt_ODB]

What thread did you use to lock the loop?

[@Premiumropes]

We use "normal" whipping twine

[@dariocarafa3788]

@@Premiumropes what does that mean? Waxed polyester? Dyneema thread? Sewing thread?

Where can I buy the dyneema loop tool

[@mouldingi]

I would have thought the point you measure off depends on the size of loop you want to make. I have just had a go trying to make a larger loop and have ended up with a nice loop but with two sections of rope at one end. Am i missing something?

[@Premiumropes]

You will need at least 2x 60 times the diameter of the Dyneema for it to remain at strength. Check our new video which is a bit clearer about the measurements. For stronger loops use this method kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKuTh2N3i72LY6c

[@marcosmcgee3753]

Instead of stitching it, couldn't you use a brummel lock before you taper it?

[@Premiumropes]

+Marcos Mcgee For a loop its not possible to lock it. We have to stich it.

[@maan7358]

it is possible. here's how. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoPIZ6Rtn8-Vqbs

[@warriorrootsbullies]

Brummel lock where the loop intersects or joins each other to make the loop then bury the tail ends into the loop.

[@paulgush]

@@maan7358 Yes, to make a locked brummel continuous loop, you have to un-braid and re-braid one of the buried tails. But that sacrifices a bit of the rope strength, and is also a lot more time consuming that just popping in some locking stitches.

[@gloriazelli5364]

Hey guys, is there a rule of thumb to understand what's the minimum diameter/finished length of the loop based on the rope diameter?

[@Premiumropes]

yes, Indeed there is. Check our other video for a dyneemaloop kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6uuYZp3paeleck

What is the name of the tool?

[@MontyD]

pull fid

[@barretharms655]

That will work in an emergency if you double the strengths necessary because it's only half the strength of doing it the right way even though you're using 2/3 of the necessary rope to do it the right way. And actually it's probably only 1/3 as strong because at a certain point there the Rope sense because you do not have enough core to fill out the entire Loop. In addition every single Stitch that you have put into it ensures that you have a Breaking Point. I hope you're using a dyneema core strand as your thread. And again I would trust it for less than 1/3 of the strengths one would expect out of that diameter material as every Stitch will reduce the overall strength even more.
