I would send it off to be break tested.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Petzl publishes their rope splicing instructions either?
 
Petzl rope is made by an Italian corporation and in English is called a "slace" or something of the sort.
Let me do some research. Italian corporations are terrible about publishing in English

I personally wouldn't climb on an unpublished splice without having a few break tested. Is there somewhere in the EU that will test your splices?

Finished it last night, climbed today.There is inconsistent diameter around the crossovers the last bury cover in core is very bumpy.Eye went trough the ZZ, stretched a bit, but didnt move, eye did not deform, will load a photo after use

were we go ruel
Pic 1b first crossover is 60mm deeper then original(started with -10mm)
Pic 1c second crossover is 40mm deeper(hasnt changed)
Pic 1d third cross is 49mm deeper(was 45mm)
Stuff in brackets is before use.
I think the cover is been pulled to the eye a lot and bunched the throat next to eye.
Eye as not changed at all.
Should I load the rope before lock stichting

Im really not sure what the pictures are showing. Lock stitch away, can't imagine it'll hurt anything.

I repeat myself, but be careful. Be super damn sure that the splice isn't going to move. Put some kind of marking on the eye, so you can see if the eye is pulling out

got another petzl rope, this time Flow 11,6mm, again like my previous rope Control 12.5mm the first meter is really bumpy.
My splice seems better then Petzl's, as my eye is even tighter and hasn't changed, moved or deformed after use, my crossover is very smooth and even, just to big for passin trough ZZ

Hello, I'm very impressed that you have reverse engineered this rope splice.

I used Samantha's instructions from Treebuzz as I cannot at the moment get the official instructions.

Hi @High Scale thanks man, took me 2 tests until perfection,m I am still riding my own petzl splices with no changes after 2 years.
Where can I find Samantha's instructions??
Splicing rocks, :rockhard: especially when something patented is broken down
lets keep info coming
 

I've spliced this eye on a couple of different double braids but I haven't had them tested, it's a very cool splice.
