Who wants it?

I have about 60' of 5/8th Notch Kraken. (Atlantic Braids). Will anyone splice me up a few single eye slings? Obviously, this is a paying job. The supplier will not splice anything after it leaves the warehouse.

That seems strange to me. Don't they at least sew eyes on used rope?
I think @bonner1040 mentioned it in the hand sewn eye thread.

Atlantic Braids has pretty detailed & clear splicing instructions. I'd strongly suggest just taking the time to learn. It's really not that bad to get the hang of it. I think the hardest part was figuring out which tools & tips made it the easiest to work with & then how to make those tools myself. My go to is a wire fid & different size soft fids (Tech Flex sleeving for the soft & 18ga-20ga fencing wire for wire fid, whichever stays stiff enough). I really only use a tubular fids to open the cover or splice 12 strand.

Not for nothing but depending on how long your trying to make these dead eyes, 60 ft should be enough to give you a couple practice runs, just intentionally go small to save on Cordage. You'll thank yourself once you learn.

Thanks for the advise guys. Splicing may be in my future but not in this season of life. And yes Sherrill said it was new company policy, that when it leaves the warehouse, it may not be returned for splicing.

Lame.

Thanks for posting that bit of information. I had not heard that before. Not that it affects me much, other than to give one more small push in the direction of learning to splice.

@aaronf did you get this taken care of. I know it was a few weeks ago. If not I might be able to help ya out! I think you got my cell # from when you picked up the dummy for AR training.

Yes, he did.
