From Mark X on the cover, measure approximately 1/3 tubular fid length toward the slip knot on the rope and mark this as Point Z.
Insert the fid at Mark T, jam the taped core end tightly into the end of the fid. With the pusher,
push the fid and core through the cover tunnel, past Mark X and through the cover at Point Z.
When pushing the fid past Mark X to Point Z, make sure the fid does not catch any internal core strands.
Pull on the core tail at Point Z, then pull on the tapered cover at Mark 3. The crossover should be tightened until it is approximately
equal to the diameter of the rope. Smooth out the cover of the eye completely, from crossover Mark T toward Point Z, to get all the
slack out of the eye area. Mark the core tail through the cover at Mark X. Also, mark the core tail where it exits at Point Z.
Pull the core tail out until the mark just made
on the core is exposed at Point Z.

Note: Depending on the eye size,
a fid may not be long enough to
reach from Mark T to Point Z in
1 pass. If not, bring the fid out
through the cover, pull the core
through and reinsert the fid into
exactly the same hole it came
out of. Do this as many times as
needed to reach Point Z.

First, cut the excess tail off at first mark. Then mark every second right and left strand toward the next mark, for 3 strands.
Cut every marked strand and pull out of line (tape at end can cause resistance and may have to be removed in order to pull out
cut strands.) Tapered end will now have only 6 strands remaining. Milk cover over tapered end until it disappears into the rope.
