Remember you have two buries, not one, in that splice, so 3fid is not really needed. Because the bury is going around the bearing points, it's also less likely to slip. I have a 5" loop made out of 1/2" that I pulled super-hard and it hasn't moved.

A better way to make small loops is to make a selvagee inside a cover. That's several passes of smaller material, placed inside a protective dyneema cover. I'd do 3 passes of 3mm Marlow Lashline inside an 8mm cover. Here's a link to instructions for that on my website:

Right on, thanks for the feedback!

I'm ganna have to try out some of that dyneema sleeve. Been tempting

They look good there has been a sh|¥ storm of criticism and ridicule over this method which only wavered a bit after I countered that it was Brion Toss developing the method (and I wasn’t even sure of that because he may have seen it done by someone else first) because those who criticized it don’t like that RiggingDoctor guy demonstrating it on YouTube and they thought he made it up.

It would be great if you find someone who can put a couple of these on a test bench, like that climbing guy on YouTube…
