The slice held. Just the whipping and lock stitch were tore up, abraided..
I missed an info, was the splice rubbing on something or is it internal abrasion, by the fibers movement under load?The slice held. Just the whipping and lock stitch were tore up, abraided..
Is it possible the sling was getting over loaded?Well, this happened. 5/8ths Tenex TEC dead eye I spliced. Had to guy a large gray pine and pull it 45* out of a heavy head lean out of a small group of oaks. Beyond guitar string tight. Thos dead eye was holding the large porty on the guy. Stripped the whipping back and off the lock stitches. Nothing melted. Cow hitch at the throat. Splice held.
