Same braid. Sling retention cord.

60 cm from my fingers to the end of the finger loop.

Thank you for continuing to share Rhonan!  I think I need more practice.  I must be inconsistent in my pulling, since I end up with a lumpy braid.

Where do you get your line?  That pattern is awesome!

It's Hercules brand fishing line.
It's camo pattern. They have it in this color camo and blue/black/white. I bought it off of AliExpress.

I have a question regarding these dyneema slings.

I have never soaked my slings in beeswax.
I know some people do, and I know it's a good thing to do.

What I hope to get out of waxing is more abrasion resistance in the netting.
I'm terrified the strands in the netting are a weak spot that could abrade away through use.
I don't know how waxing would affect these slings.
They're stiff enough as is. I'm afraid it would make them too stiff.

Does anyone have experience waxing dyneema?
What do you folks think about the idea?
