Possible to make a 3' long loop (6' cordage) of 3/4" Polydyne?

[eyehearttrees]

I guess I mean "Possible to actually make, and have at least 4/5ths spec ABS"?

Just nipped one of my p.dyne slings yesterday and now it's too-short to use with the anchor on its end, but it does have a nice unmolested ~6.25' section (yes I've nipped other spots on this thing before, it's a "log wrap" sling, for half-hitch backed-up knotting with a metal anchor for sliding/whipping/etc) It is exceedingly rare I have a (rigging)system that could accommodate its true ABS so am happy w/ reduced-strength, just not a "maybe yes, maybe no" yknow?

FWIW I'm a pretty skilled splicer, all types, most-everything in my kit is spliced and only *1* was done by someone besides me, have spliced 'unsplicable' mercury multiple times and am good with 'loop overlap' IE that middle-area where the two buries meet on a single-braid loop, I guess I'm picturing doing something similar w/ the double braid Polyd 3/4th's, IE ensuring my buries each go to the center where I'll do a 3rd lock-stitching spot for redundancy!

Thanks for any input, I guess I feel like it would be OK, even though frowned-upon by Samson et al, just like doing ultra-short "final tails" on an ultrasling (instead of a full proper 1' bury hanging-off the end of your Ultra's )

(to be clear, am not looking for "how to", am plenty comfortable w/ the doing, just hesitant because I can't get the bury-length I'd want for 3/4"....but I am getting that end-of-bury crossover where I can further bolster things, guess in my mind that if I nail that tails-crossover in the middle it will "make up for" not having long-enough buries! Obviously, since I'm still alive, I'm not at all intending to just go using something like this before having tested it to hell, I just rig stuff that doesn't need rigging to test, lol actually I tend to do it a lot just to keep playing w/ configurations, as solo-rigging often requires a TON of 'work-arounds'!!)

LOL I forgot, may as well add the same Q but for:
-1/2" polydyne,
- ~5.15' long
Yup, also nicked that one yesterday....was kinda over-doing it on the ropes, even used them to hold the fatter logs so I could make my under-cuts before placing the log on-ground

solo rigging FTW lol!!

Send it off for a sewn loop, or try your hard at hand sewing it, if your confident in your ability.

Full strength "splice" with minimum lost cordage. Also wouldn't have the extra stiffness from burying the splice.

Yeah you can do a endless loop double braid splice.. very far from practical but can be done, left with a long double thick spot. Think twice as long as a normal eye splice

Thanks guys appreciate the replies, think I'm gonna pass on making loops as now there's 2 pieces (1/2" polydyne as well as the 3/4", was using my 355t for pruning type cuts lol) so just gonna make spliced-ends (maybe 1 end maybe both), using those generic steel thimbles, have found them soooo useful (I put real weight into them and have only had minor glazing a few times, but to be fair I'm snubbing things not running them, but for snubbing stuff I can use 5/8" TEC with 5/8" generic steel thimbles in the same manner I'd use my Lrg size xrings and notice no difference, I use the real rings for my anchorage and the generic steel thimbles as my log-wrap-slings' anchors as I don't directly tie-off my bullrope since I can't get it back up to myself if I do that so double-whipping is my default just for reasons of getting my bullrope back )

Thanks as always, yeah Evo I was looking at it thinking "this would be cool, a 5' 3/4" p.dyne loop, but man this could be a 2hr project" lol Will just do thimble-spliced ends on each, and maybe soft-eyes on the opposing ends (I like this configuration most for my 'log wraps' because I can do girth hitch with the soft-eye and then half-hitch the butt with the thimble it's so quick and you can carry half a dozen of them w/o it feeling worse than 1 Safebloc sling!)
