Joining solid core braid

[David Lumanauw]

I join solid core braids with sewing needle and cyanoacrylate glue

[David Lumanauw]

Put red braid into needle eye

[David Lumanauw]

Sew 5 stitches into center(s) of yellow braid. Spacing is about 1-2mm

[David Lumanauw]

Remove the needle, now put the yellow braid into needle eye

[David Lumanauw]

Sew 5 stiches of yellow braid into center(s) of red braid. Spacing is 1-2mm

[David Lumanauw]

You get 5 stiches of yellow brain into red braid and 5 stiches of red braid into yellow braid. Pull softly every end to smooth the join.
Apply cyanoacrylate glue to the whole stiches

[David Lumanauw]

You get strong, small joint without any knots.

[David Lumanauw]

Yes, strong connection. Better than using knots, usually breaks at knot.
Even if you don't glue it, it is same strength

Very nice achievement David, I have friends who made about the same thing but I must say that my old shoulders (72 years)    do not allow me to fish with a drag set to 20k  so that I have never broken a fishing knot since I make exotic trips, only since 14 years

You dont look like you are 72

You dont look like you are 72

Thanks  In principle when we are young in the head the body follows  despite the weight of years

How about using a section of hollow braid and pull the solid braid inside from either end.  Common way of splicing braid.  You can use some light solid wire to pull the solid into the holllow if you don't have the splicing needles.
