So no one's found a good way to finish off the end of cut amsteel? (Yes, you should take this as a challenge
)
You can avoid this by not tapering the end of the bury, and wrapping it with a small strip of electrical tape.... BUT, that makes the splice look really bad, and it won’t slide as well through a carabiner, because it will put a big ‘ol fat spot in the rope.
I wouldn’t add anything to the amsteel bury, though, because it could reduce the friction required to maintain manufacturer’s specs on splices.
