24 strand hollow braid

[Hosocat]

I acquired a couple 75 foot lengths of notch dryad 24 strand hollow core from the treestuff grab bag. Trying to figure out what to do with it and might splice an eye on the ends. Can anyone help me find instructions for splicing this type of rope? I'm not sure if it is half inch or tree quarters in diameter. There is no core, and measures seven eighths inch flat. Thanks for any advice.

Also, tree stuff recommends cabling or winch for typical uses. Any other thoughts on what this rope might be good for? Thanks.

It’s made of polyester, so a class I splice of one fid length bury, or locked brummel and a shorter bury, if needed. The 3/8 diameter seems like it would work good with the Hitch Hiker. Being hollow and stretchy not sure how hitches or mechanical devices would work on it.

Thanks for the advice. I'm just getting started in splicing, so still learning terminology and techniques. Tree stuff did recommend tying a stopper knot after the bury exits. This seems odd to me. Does that mean bring the final bury back outside of rope and tie a knot in it? Doesn't sound right.

Dryad is specifically for dynamic cabling use. It is not a climbing line.

Yes. Thanks. I was thinking about using some of it to make a dead eye sling.

If it would still be flexible to tie a hitch, maybe bury it the entire length of the sling to increase the break strength.
