Hi Sam
I was discusing this issue with Brandon a week ago, I personally have no faith in the half hitch over each leg style of finishing a bimini, I have tried them & had them fail, for me the ONLY way to finish a bimini properly with braid is with at least a 6 turn pull through & a small (read very small) dap of loctite 406 or similar on the pull through section,. I think I also have to add that I pull the tag on the pull through up so tight that it changes it's colour, not unlike the original zip finish on mono.
Cheers Chris
