Press cover towards thimble, and secure by whipping with twine. If you want to insert a thimble, the eye-size is to be calculated less than the circumference of the thimble. Get the splice (C-D) into thecover by sliding the cover back over until it reaches point (A ).Ĭut off the exposed core and stretch the eye until the core goes under the cover. Pull the core through the cover until the slack is taken up. Remove the needleand pull cover back into core until the end is hidden.Īttach thecore-end into the needle and insert a needlenear (C ) and out of cover in one past (B ). To make the splicing easy, extract some more core and make a lock on using a small needle near (B).įind the right needle for splicing and feed the cover-end into the needle (C) and take it out at (D). Withdraw another 2/3 of a needle and mark it (D) on the core. Withdraw another needle - length of core from (B) and mark this point (C). Take out the slack from the cover by sliding your hand from the knot towards (B ). from (B ).Įxtract the core at (B ) using a small needle. Mark again at (B ) according to the loop size. Mark the rope a needle length from theend (A). These splicing demonstrations are courtesy of Selma, the Norwegianmanufacture of the Selma Fids SplicingNeedle s.
#Splice 2 lines together plus#
When splicing in house we keep this to around 60cm spliced plus the doubled section of the eye. Splicing will reduce the overall length of the rope and care should be taken to allow for this.
