You really need to bury a bit more of the tail inside the mainline and also taper it by pulling threads over a distance otherwise the weak point is where it suddenly goes from fat to thin. There are videos that tell you how much tell you bury depending upon the thickness of the dyneema.
Hi Sea Eagle, The cover is only off at the ends. When I did the video I did not know how to include the cover in the end pieces, especially space wise. So far the Dyneema ends have not desintegrated ... the next version will then be pimped, promised :-)

Excellent …. I have watched a lot of tutorials as I am about replace me lifelines with same dyneema rope as yours .. thank you
Wonderful, I've not seen that method of splicing you have solved the puzzle of how to make up life lines.
Love the idea of a reflective cover.

Thank you. Very helpful.
very good !
Did you put anything extra on it where it passes through your stanchions to reduce chafe there?
No as it does not move inside the stantions. And the little movements when someone holds on to it can be neglected imho :-)
excellent

You’ve taken the protective cover off the core, which now is susceptible to sun damage
