In this video, you will learn the basic method of splicing an eye into Dyneema. To prevent the eye splice from slipping when unloaded, it will be locked in place by incorporating some seizing with whipping twine.
I would highly recommend that if you are going to use Dyneema for critical loads, pop over to @HowNOT2 where they test Dyneema splices and knots to destruction. This way you will have better knowledge of how safe and secure your Dyneema project is.
