Does anyone know where I can find specs on splicing an eye in the end of some Poison Ivy? Already looked at the manufacturer's website and found nothing usefull. I'm guessing these measurements are kept hush hush so Sherrill can keep selling spliced ends at $25 a pop. I'm poor. Help.
 
Very familiar with the samson rope site. There are no specs here pertaining to 24 strand rope. PI is a 24 strand by Yale. Unless measurements are the same as a 16 strand splice.
 
You should be using double braid class 1 instructions. PI is made by Yale and is the same rope as blue moon. The PI colors are made for Sherrill exclusively.

Not to be Johnny Raincloud here, but it will cost you a lot more than $25 to make one for yourself.

Just learning how to make a splice will take a few hours at best. Plus the first one you make will be terrible (just ask anyone about their first splice) so you will need to make a few to get it down. It all boils down to what your time is worth, even if you are only worth $5 an hour it is still cheaper to have someone else do a professional job on the rope.

Anyway, if you plan on splicing a lot of rope then by all means go for it.

In the end, if you just need a splice here and there save your hands, and your money and let someone else do it.
 
When I order rope I usually just pay the extra to get it spliced. It is/was worth the time though to learn how to do different splices in case I needed one on the fly and to understand how they are done.
