You are never allowed to put a load close to the breaking strength on any gear/rope. Far from that. If you plan to load as much your rigging or anything, you seriously have to reconsider your way. The purpose of the stitching is to keep the construction in good order under no or light load...
A crochet hook, used to make the lace. The hook's size is function of the thread's diameter. It allows to grab the loose thread on the back of the lace and pull it through toward the front without catching the already woven ones (actually just the same thread from start to finish)..
No, it's new to me. But It seems that putting a knot in a splice defeat two main purposes of the splicing principle: streamling and retaining most of the rope's strength (if not all).
I missed an info, was the splice rubbing on something or is it internal abrasion, by the fibers movement under load?
Internal would tore the stitching but not move away the whipping.
If we can make a parallel with the rated slings, round or linear, their WLL is downgraded to 0.8x when set in chocker mode, instead of 2 in basket mode.
The electric tape doesn't stay long. It's too thin and fragile. A few rubs on the bark and it's teared away. But it leaves its messy gum on the rope as a reminder of why you shouldn't use that. At the opposite, the paracord makes too thick of a layer. It will catch on the bark and be slided...
For the ultrasling, as I see it, the 2 brummels are locked together if pulled in one direction (pulling each rope going through the eye on the other) but can slide away in the other direction (pulling each rope by the eye side). That gives the possibility of some movement, so more wear can be...
