How to secure an HMPE/Dyneema splice

A simple braid splice in HMPE / Dyneema is quick to make, but without load, it can open up or slip gradually.

🔒 The solution: stitching points

To permanently secure a splice, a few stitches made with Dyneema overlock thread are sufficient.

These through points hold the strands in position and ensure a perfect hold, even when the rope is not under tension.

⚓ Why secure your splice?

• Safety: the splice remains closed, even without tension.

• Durability: no gradual slippage over time.

• Professionalism: a clean and reliable finish, worthy of careful ropework.

🧵 How to proceed?

1. Use 100% Dyneema topping thread.

2. Make several regularly spaced through stitches .

3. Be careful not to tighten the thread too much

4. Finish with a flat knot.
