i'm pretty new to the diy scene, and i just made myself a new structural ridgeline out of 7/64 amsteel. i put a locked brummel on each end, but i'm wondering how much do i need to bury the tail? i've got about 4 inches buried on one end and about 2 inches on the other. the closest thing i have to a bury tool is a bobby pin i stole from my wife, which makes the longer bury pretty difficult. can i get by with these lengths? or should i try to do at least 6 inches? (that seems to be the length i saw on all the instructions for how to do a locked brummel) any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
