end for end double braid Class I Class I Double Braids are made from any or all of the following fibers Additional rope needed for splice olefin polyester or nylon circ of rope in feet x 2 This splice can be performed on new and used rope This is an allpurpose splice technique designed for people who generally splice used rope as frequently as new rope It retains up to 85 of average new rope strength and in used rope up to 85 of the remaining used rope strength 1 marking the measurements step Tape the end of each rope with one thin layer of tape Lay two ropes to be spliced side by side and measure one tubular fid length two wire fid 1 Fid OR Short lengths because wire fid is 12 size from end section 2 Wire Fids of each rope and make a mark This is point R of fid X R Reference Core must be extracted from One layer From R measure one short fid section length cover here of tape as scribed on the fid then mark again This is X R Point X where you should extract core from inside cover Be sure both ropes are identically Tie a slipknot in each line about marked Tie a slipknot approximately five fid five fid lengths from X lengths from X If you require the rope with the finished splice to be a certain overall length refer to Special Tips for Splicing page 8 of this book 2step extracting the cores Bend rope sharply at X With the pusher or any sharp tool such as an ice pick awl or marlin spike spread cover strands to expose core First pry then pull core completely out of cover from X to the end of rope Put one layer only of tape on end of core X Mark 1 R Cover Core Core 1 layer of tape X R Cover To assure correct positioning of Mark 1 do the following holding X the exposed core slide cover as far back towards the tightly tied Do not pull cover strands away from rope as this will distort cover unnecessarily slip knot as you can Then firmly smooth cover back from the slip knot towards taped end Smooth again until all cover slack is removed Then mark core where it comes out of cover This is Mark 1 Do this to both ropes X 3 step marking the cores Hold one core at Mark 1 and slide cover back to expose more core From Mark 1 measure along core towards X a distance equal to the short section of fid and R Cover make two heavy marks This is Mark 2 One fid length plus another short section Short section Core From Mark 2 measure in the same direction one Mark 3 Mark 1 Core fid length plus another short section and make Mark second core using first as exact guide Mark 2 three heavy marks This is Mark 3 R Cover X Mark second core by laying it alongside the first and using it as an exact guide With wire fid double measurements up to 13 circumference Page 1 of 3 2090 Thornton Street T 3603844669 Ferndale WA USA 98248 F 3603840572 end for end double braid Class

When using wire R fid attach fid to taped core Then pull fid and braid through X from T to X Do this to both cores Remove tape from end of X End of taper disappears here cover Bring crossover up tight by pulling on core tail and on Core tapered covered tail Hold crossover tightly smoothing out all R excess braid away from crossover in each direction Trim end Fid and end of core comes out at X T of Tapered cover at an angle to eliminate blunt end Tapered cover tail will disappear at Mark 3 Cut core tail off close to Point X at an angle er Opening in crossover should be Crossov no larger than diameter of rope 9 Beginning at each slipknot milk cover by sliding hand toward splice burying the exposed core step X Hold rope at slipknot and with other hand milk cover X toward the splice gently at first and then more firmly The cover will slide over Mark 3 Mark 2 the crossover and R Repeat with the other side of the splice Con tinue burying until all cover slack between the knot and Mark 2 T R the splice has been removed10 finishing the splicestep The splice is done when all cover slack has been removed and there is an opening in the splice approximately equal in length to the diameter of rope If at the opening one side of the splice is noticeably longer than the other side something is wrong Check Steps 19 and remake if necessary Now untie the slip knots CONTINUE MILKING REMOVE ALL
