Repeat this procedure, now tucking the left-hand sub-rope 1 into

the right-hand sub-rope 1 (Fig. F). Draw the left-hand sub-rope all

the way through to close up the crossover (Fig. G). Place a wrap

or two of tape around the crossover point.

Repeat Steps 9 –11

with sub-ropes 2

(shown in Fig. K) and

then sub-ropes 3.

Now select the center sub-ropes and splice them together,

again following the procedure outlined in Steps 9 –11.

Make an additional 14 tucks in each direction. A tuck

consists of passing the tail over 1 strand, and under

1 strand, always against the lay. When pulling the tail

through, pull perpendicular to the direction the rope

is lying in, and take care not to over tighten the tuck,

this will cause unnecessary distortion. Fig. G shows

normal appearance after 1 tuck each direction. As

the splice progresses, the tail should gradually spiral

around the standing part. To accomplish this, it is

necessary to pull the tail underneath the standing part

on every 3rd or 4th tuck (Fig. H).

Complete 15 tucks with full volume tail, then remove

1 strand from tail and complete 3 tucks with the

remaining 2 strands (Fig. I). Now remove 1 strand

and complete 3 tucks with the remaining 1 strand

(Fig. J). Tape the tails to the rope.

step

spliced together, numbered 2 will be spliced together, etc.)

Note: After splicing bottom 3 and center 1, top 3 will be paired likewise.
