fid length 3mm Amsteel 12?
I'm entranced with making eye splices and whoopie slings with this stuff (have faked a fid's function using an assortment of sewing tools) but the directions on Samson's site give lengths in terms of the fid for that size rope. And I'm pretty sure my guess about the fid length is overly generous.
I tried to search for "fid" but that's a word that's too short to be searched on.
So, help me out here - how long is a fid for 3mm (1/8") Amsteel blue 12 strand rope?
Thanks for helping keep my living room well supplied with little scraps of technical sailing line!
