size of the eye desired and

mark. This is Mark 2.

From Mark 2, measure down

the rope 1-3/4 fids and mark.

This is Mark 3.

step

At Mark 1, pull out half the strands (3

"S" and 3 "Z") by

rotating around the rope and pulling

out strands in the pattern shown:
Z Strand = counter-clockwise twist

S Strand = clockwise twist
This should leave 6 strands still

braided down the middle. Tightly tape

the ends of the 6 individual strands,

as well as the end of the remaining

braided portion.
On one side you should have 2 S strands

and 1 Z strand. On the other side, you

should have 2 Z strands and 1 S strand.

The Tuck-Bury splice is designed as a short splice for HMPE (Dyneema

®

fiber) 12-strand ropes only.

Bitter end

Make a mark at the intersection of an S and a Z strand at Mark 2. This

will be the entry point for all 6 strands and the tail when it is buried.

The entry point should be on the side of the rope facing the opposite

leg of the eye.
From the entry point, count 2 picks down the rope and mark 6 strands

around the circumference of the rope. There will be 3 S strands and 3

Z strands marked. At each intersection of an S and a Z strand, mark

an exit point. There will be 6 exit points marked.

The first 3 strands are now routed from the entry point at Mark 2 to the exit point.

Each strand is routed separately, entering at the entry point and exiting at its own

exit point. Do not pull the strands up tight yet. Leave slack at the entry point.
