Tuck the (white) pair of strands
under the (gray) pair of strands
closest to the first 2 tucks. Pull
the strands snug, but not tight to
avoid distorting the strands in the
eye area. Again, make sure there
is no twist in the strands (Fig. E).
Turn the eye over and tuck the
remaining (white) pair of strands
under the remaining (gray) pair
of strands in the standing part
of the rope (Fig. F).
Remove tape and pull all 8
strands snug and correct any
twist that may have been
introduced during the tucking
procedure. The first tuck is
now complete (Fig. G).
Note: A full tuck includes all 4 pairs of strands.

Note: The 8 ends can be heat fused so they don’t fray,
but be careful not to damage any of the strands.

After each round of tucks, pull
each strand to make sure they
are snug and there is no twist.
The splice should look like Fig. H.
Locate the strand closest to the
eye in each strand pair. Tape and
cut off, leaving enough of the end
protruding so it does not slip back
into the rope when loaded. The
splice should look like Fig. I.
Continue tucking the remaining
strands, with the (gray) strands
under the (white) strands, and vice
versa, for 2 more full tucks.
Tape and cut off the remaining
strands. The finished splice
should look like Fig. J.

Continue tucking the (gray)
strands under the (white) strands
and the (white) strands under
the (gray) strands until at least
4 full tucks (with all 4 strand
pairs) have been completed.
