I just picked up a suspension bridge for a glide harness, even thogh i don't wear a glide (rope bridges can be added to many other style saddles to make a sweet modification). My question is; since this suspension bridge is quite a bit more costly than the short lengths of rope i've been using, I want to make it last quite a bit longer too. I'm not worried about the bridge itself. Its just the spliced eyes that I would hate to nick with a hand saw and feel sketched out about it fraying until I just get rid of it. I was thinking of coating the eyes with wax or something. Anyone have any suggestions?

100% agree no excuse for using your saw that close. Good positioning is key.
I've been using heat shrink tape for the same application it's good quick, and seems to improve with age.
