How to Eye Splice Dyneema (Simple Method)

In this video, you will learn the basic method of splicing an eye into Dyneema. To prevent the eye splice from slipping when unloaded, it will be locked in place by incorporating some seizing with whipping twine. I would highly recommend that if you are going to use Dyneema for critical loads, pop over to ‪@HowNOT2‬ where they test Dyneema splices and knots to destruction. This way you will have better knowledge of how safe and secure your Dyneema project is. #sailing #letsgetknotting #survivalknots 0:00 - Introduction to Dyneema Eye Splice 0:34 - Why Use Dyneema for Splicing? 1:02 - Important Safety Considerations for Dyneema 1:30 - Step 1: Measuring Dyneema for the Eye Splice 2:33 - Determining the Eye Size for Your Splice 3:00 - Marking the Dyneema for Splicing 3:30 - Preparing the Dyneema End for Tapering 4:15 - Tapering the Dyneema Strands for a Neat Splice 6:41 - Inserting the Fid into the Dyneema 7:52 - Pulling the Tapered End Through the Dyneema Core 9:43 - Dressing and Smoothing the Eye Splice 10:44 - Cutting Excess Dyneema Strands 11:09 - The Completed Dyneema Eye Splice 11:36 - Why Seizing is Recommended for Dyneema Eye Splices 12:21 - Preparing Whipping Twine and Needle for Seizing 13:21 - Threading the Needle for Seizing 13:51 - Starting the Seizing with a Clove Hitch 15:08 - Wrapping the Whipping Twine for Seizing 16:23 - Passing the Needle Through the Dyneema Core 17:48 - Creating Tram Lines for Secure Seizing 19:14 - Locking Off the Seizing with a Knot 20:30 - Finalising the Seizing and Cutting the Excess Twine 21:07 - The Completed and Secured Dyneema Eye Splice 21:29 - Optional: Adding Glue for Extra Security
