OK, I think I get it. You want to splice some braid-on-braid into a loop, yes?

If so, you need some Selma Fids (http://www.selma.no/sider/produkt.html). Most of the instructions for these are to make an eye-splice, but I don't think there is any reason why you couldn't use them the make a join.

After the overwhelming requests for more information on the end to end slice, here is the link!

There are two parts to the video.  After viewing the first it will guide you to the second. I followed the step by step instruction and I ended up with a very professional splice, after one try!!
