I recently sent a line to a rigging shop to address a fraying outer cover (due to a mast exit plate). The rigging shop burned the frayed area and sent it back.

I would normally buy a new line but sometimes I try an "economical" solution. I had same issue with a spin halyard. I covered it with some heat shrink that, as I recall, I got from apsltd.com for line ends. It was pink. That was 5-7 years ago. Still holding. Dennis C.

The line is 3/8" Endura braid with a dyneema core which is fine--and at 10,000 lbs breaking strength should stay fine! I have some experience in adding covers to smaller line to thicken it up for my rope clutches and I have already 'snaked' the core thru the end so that the covers meet. My thought is to just put a bunch of thru stitches at right angles to each other from one side of the broken cover to the other and "...drive on", saving myself about a boat buck in the process. Any thoughts on this from the list?
