To form the splice, unlay the two ends of the rope to be joined and tape or whip the ends of each strand. |
|
A knife is helpful here to get things started, but they unlay easily once you've gotten it going. |
|
This will cause the rope to unlay and to some degree distortion of the rope will occur. |
|
Unlay the ends to be joined. Go back three or more complete turns. Now marry the loosened strands. |
