How to Eye Splice Paracord

This method allows you to eye splice one end or both. The full sleeve is stronger, but you have to secure the other end with a different method. The partial sleeve gives an eye splice on both ends, but you have to keep it from slipping with a stitch or super glue. Thanks for watching.

I've been into knots and paracord for years and your channel is the first innovative breath of fresh air the hobby has had in a very long time, since maybe animatedknots.

Keep up the great work.

Someone may have already commented this but make sure you use heat-shrink with adhesive lining. Not all heat-shrink tubing has adhesive inside and the cord will just slip right out after heating.

Used this method the other day for a wallet "chain". I pulled both sides back through to the same hole and out the middle, put a stitch in the 2 inner ends and pull them back inside. Works perfectly, eye splice on both ends.

I’m a new subscriber—absolutely LOVE this channel!!! You’re such a great teacher, breaking down every step to where anyone can follow along. Thank you for your contribution! I love the slingshot video, btw!!

when doing the heat shrink, I've had good luck with putting liquid electrical tape under the heat shrink. The liquid electrical tape pernitrates into the fibers and connects very well with the head shrink making it a ever stronger bond.
Good video, I'll use this.

I really like the use of the chain link, looks great and keeps the keys tight. Great for a guy like me that hates big bundles of keys.

I've been blazing dabs with that same torch for 2 years. Best torch I've ever owned.

Wow, amazing. As I was watching you pull a single strand of the inner cord out, I bet a fine tip crochet hook would another tool that you can use. There are ones designed for lace making and a size close to 2.5 mm might do the trick as if has a hooked end to it. Thanks for sharing your well thought out, easy to follow video.

I use nail varnish glue to secure paracord joints, It makes a very strong joint when you put one end inside the other. You only need a tiny drop, it goes rigid in one second! It's also a good alternative to melting cut ends.

5:45 "So there's our completed eye splice." Hmm, that jacket is rated at 305 pounds of normal 550, so I guess it's fairly strong without the 7 dual strands which rate at 35# each. So much for watching this vid to learn knotting skills. ;)

FYI I’ve also been able to create a locked Brummell splice in some gutted paracord. It doesn’t work as well with extremely tight sheath weaves, but paracord varies. The Brummell allows a solid, self locked splice without having to access the other end.

Great innovation using a bike chain connector for holding keys.

Awesome job. Instead of heat shrink, terminating that working end with a common whipping or a nail knot from a 550 gut also works awesome.

Не уверен, что когда-нибудь потребуется, но с огромным интересом посмотрел!! Благодарю!!:)
Awesome!! Thanks a lot!! 👍🏻

[shultz]

Most definitely gonna use this... just let me say my wife is mad because I can't stop watching your channel and we're supposed to be watching a movie together🤣 great tips keep em coming

Well done, performing marline spike splice work on paracord. It's refreshing to see someone working paracord that isn't just another braid or weave. I also appreciate that you are one of the few who have picked up on heat shrink tubing. I was thinking that you are sacrificing the strength of the inner strands for the splice, until it occurred to me that pulling something out allows room for something to take it's place. Wire could be fed through to make the whole assembly even stronger than the original. To keep the outer mantle from slipping while forming the loop the end fed back inside could be held tight to the wire with heat shrink tubing, like the tip of a shoe lace. Wire would make the whole thing stiffer, but that would be the trade off.

Good information. I am going to use this to add some para cord to my backpack for tying things on.

[robertqueberg]

Thank you for a nice mix of entertainment and information. That is a good application for a master link.

[courtneyheron]

So dang cool!! Thank you for demonstrating this technique. Awesome! 👏 👏👏

[Handymanllc]

That is a very cool and informative video tutorial. Thank you I will earmark this video for future reference.
