www.premiumrope... This endless splice is great to use for furling-systems and other places where you would like a endless rope. Some strength is lost with this splice as a part of the core is removed.

This video remains the clearest and simplest to follow on continuous furling line splicing. many thanks
The clearest video I’ve ever seen on this topic
What a great video! Informative, concise without dialogue that most people feel is necessary. Thank you so much for sharing this!
You are well practiced. It worked very well for me. I do it so seldom it is a gift to have it shown to me again. Thank you
Thanks for this! I have to make my topping lift soon, this is perfect! I need a loop for the Dutchman mainsail flaking system I use. Thanks!
Thanks. Good luck with splicing
Nice music selection!!
+Premium Ropes Statistically I know a continuous rope should be going equally in both directions, but say in an application like a German mainsheet on a crewed boat where it may be worked more from one side than the other, is there a chance going through the blocks that it could work out? Would it benefit from a stitch or whipping in a strategic location, and what/where would that/those location be? Same question for an eye splice: if so is it the same strategic location or different? Thanks
Good Job
It may cause problems in carrying loads.
Explain how/why
No matter what kind of tape I use it doesn’t stick to my fid so I end up loosing my core or cover half way pulling it through
Have you tried our tape yet? www.premiumropes.com/premiumropes-83503-splicing-tape-premiumropes
You are a life saver!!
I am surprised you don't use the core. I want to make something for climbing, using prussic knots on continuous line. I'd rather trust core than cover for the junction. Was is the failure point for this compared to the line itself?
+Conrad Senior For a prussic, I'd use a square or figure 8 and hang the knot clear of the prussic. There is not really a good reason to use a continuous line. As he stated the splice does cause a loss of strength, which I'd think automatically disqualifies it for life safety, especially when there is really no need for it.
Wilfred Darr yes you can splice using the core, and it's stronger than a knot. just not this way. this is for super light use apparently.
Use a hollow braid rope (tenex / tenex tec or similar) then do a locked brummel with the tails burried 180° back on themselves. And actually, the locked brummel holds all the weight (90%-100% of rope strength), the burried tails are just for aesthetics.
Yeah I'm unsure of this method (no offense!) - I side-gig doing eye splices mostly for halyard etc replacement in the sailing community, haven't made an end-to-end splice yet in double braid BUT, I'd think this wouldn't hold up... I'm about to do one now for a customer, using the method I found at Machovec online... Seems more trustworthy/instinctive 😊
Is Mr. Rodgers doing this? ;) Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful thank you
Can't believe you don't suggest a few stitches in the no core (cover overlap) area.
We advise the stitched whipping at the end of the video. In the new version it's also shown. czcams.com/video/xQClAvoeXO4/video.html
That music drives you mad.
Is the final stitched whipping on 3 parts of the rope necessary?
It's better to stitch the splice. Especially the middle one.
@@Premiumropes Got it, thank you. Got to learn how to stitch as well now... 😁
What if the two ropes are of different diameters? I'd like to splice 1/4" to 3/8", to allow it to smoothly move through a block and so I can use a clutch designed for 3/8" line.... Core and covers are both polyester, not high modulus line, not a high tension application.
We recommend to add an extra cover instead, as explained in this video: czcams.com/video/hnIp-Uzlpqs/video.html
Good point, thanks, I didn't think of that. Unfortunately the line is too short so I need to extend it, though I suppose I could extend the line first and then add another cover to that.... I would have preferred to replace the whole line with high modulus line, then strip the cover for the part inside the boom. Unfortunately getting at the pulley system inside the boom requires drilling out the gooseneck of the boom, a time consuming and difficult job.
Good luck!
Can you do this with a 20mm rope to a 14mm rope?
Hi, im really interested in making this. My question is, is it strong enough to hold a camera? About 10-15lbs? Sorry im a newb at ropes
+BLAGGIN No problem at all.
The weight of the camera is not the problem with camera lines. Sag is...
The longer the line the more sag it will have. You can counter sag to some degree by applying more tension to the line which this type of cordage is very much capable of doing but even if you could achieve 80% of it's 1600 or 2500 lbs breaking strength (at which point the rope starts to stretch) you will find the line will sag also. Basically you have to test it to see how much sag it will have at the length you need the line to be knowing you wouldn't be able to apply anywhere near the tension for it to break (that is with manual methods) and if you could most likely the sag wouldn't be that much less...
What about the portion without core? Is this a loss of strength?
Yes, there is loss of strength and this technique is meant for situations where equal thickness is more important. If you want to keep full strength, you should use this method: czcams.com/video/xQClAvoeXO4/video.html
Looks easy enough. If you stitch the splice on either side and at the crossover is it strong enough to say use as a halyard? Thanks for the video.
Thank you
So simply it looks. Looking forward to change my furling line. Question- If I use 5/8 line, will I need a 5/8 fid?
Hi Charles, I recommend the largest fid possible depending on the strecth of the cover. See if the 5/8 fits in the empty cover
How do you to a double eye splice on one peice of short rope
It works the same as splicing an eye on only 1 end. For a 10mm double braided rope it doe require at least 1,5m rope, ex the length of the eye, to splice.

What fid size are you using? To me it looks smaller then the rope diameter.
For 10mm rope I use 7.5mm Selma did.Works every time. Chris
Is this splicing loop suitable for tying Prusik in tree climbing?
+Joseph WONG For a prussic, I'd use a square or figure 8 and hang the knot clear of the prussic. There is not really a good reason to use a continuous line. As he stated the splice does cause a loss of strength, which I'd think automatically disqualifies it for life safety, especially when there is really no need for it.
Noted. Thanks for your comment and recommendation.
There are good reasons, for exaple if you want do build a Pinto Pulley, a knot would make problems going through the eye.
use a fishermans knot or figure eight bend for your continuous loop
Just use a square knot and it will be done and safe
Even though tying might seem easier, a knot reduces the working load of the rope with about 50%. An eye splice reduces the working load with only 10% on average, that's why we recommend splicing!
For all that just tie a knot
Or.... we are happy to splice that rope for you! www.premiumropes.com
Won’t work in a continuous line furler. A knot will jam. I suspect you’re just trying to be funny.
