step

Beginning at the marriage, tuck a marked pair of strands under the nearest unmarked pair.

Then tuck an unmarked pair under the nearest marked pair of strands.
Complete 1 full set of tucks tuck in one direction with all the strands and then do another

full set of tucks on the other side of the marriage. Pull everything tight before proceeding.
Continue tucking the strands around the rope until you have completed 6 full tucks on each

side of the marriage with all the strand pairs.
Having completed 6 full tucks for each pair of strands you will need to reduce the strand

volume by 1/3 before continuing to the next set of tucks. To do this, cut 1 of the 3 strands

out of each pair as shown in Fig. F.

Continue tucking the remaining strands, with the (gray) strands under the (white) strands, and vice versa,

for 3 more full tucks. Reduce the volume of each of the strands in the 4 pairs of strands, by 1/2 (Do this by

removing 1 of the 2 strands in each of the remaining pairs.) The splice should look like Fig. G.

Continue tucking the remaining strands for 3 more

full tucks. Tape and cut off the remaining strands, the

finished splice should look like Fig. H.
