There was a thread a while back where splicing Oplux using Tachyon splicing instructions was discussed. At least 3 did it; myself, @boyne bowhunter , and @Jrybicki .
I was a bit nervous about it, feeling the bury might be too short, so I sent a couple samples off for testing. One was a 5" spliced eye sent to Treestuff, I am still waiting to hear from them. The other was a piece of Canyon Lux (Oplux with more color in the sheath) with tight eyes spliced in each end, sent to Knot & Rope.
Today I got a call from Knot & Rope telling me during testing, one eye broke at 3047 pounds (13.5 kn). He said it appeared the core slipped and suggested using a class II splice, which I also plan to have tested.
The rope is being returned to me and I will post pictures when I get it. In the meantime, I wanted to let you guys know what you are hanging from.
This is the rope before testing.
