When I try to blend two lines, I keep getting holes in parts of the blend.
I have gotten the advice to increase the number of steps an make the number of points the same but with the same result (the lower image has 300 steps, with 8 points on each path)

Anyone an idea on how I can solve this?

edit: few more details:

both lines have a stroke of 1 px, no fill
the upper blend has 50 steps (not sure about the number of path points though)
the lower blend has 300 steps and 8 points in each path

: Join two paths with a border This is probably far easier than I'm making it out to be.. I have this path that I duplicated and reflected but since both paths have a border I'm not sure

You can try add anchor points to lines:

Select Blend
Object->Path->Add Anchor Points

I think it's because you have "Align art to pixel grid" switched on. This option is enabled by default if you create a new document from one of the web document presets. I really do wish Adobe would fix this behaviour. It's a real annoyance and catches many people out.

I get something similar if "Align art to pixel grid" is enabled. The blend is messed up.

However if I switch off the "Align art to pixel grid" option, and recreate the graphic again, there is no problem. The examples below show a 50 step blend, and 300 step blend.

You probably have to tweak the lines. The blending tool in has issues when dealing with lines that cross each other at certain angles. Modify the problematic intersections until these gaps disappear.
