step
Tape end to be spliced. Measure 1-1/2
fid lengths from the bitter end and
mark. This is Mark 1. Put tight tape
wrap at Mark 1.

A
From Mark 1, form a loop the
size of the eye desired and
mark. This is Mark 2.

B
From Mark 2, measure down
the rope 1-3/4 fids and mark.
This is Mark 3.
2
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.
