Place the rope under tension, then divide the unbraided cover material

(from Step 3) at each end of the splice into 6 equal bundles.

Tuck the cover bundles at each end of the splice. Starting at either end of the splice, take 1 of the 6 cover bundles, pass it

over 1 sub-rope and under the very next (forming a simple tuck similar to that used in splicing 3-strand rope.) Repeat until all

6 bundles have been tucked once. Then tightly tape around the rope at the point where the tucks occur. Repeat this process

until a minimum of 3 tucks have been made with all 6 bundles. After the last set of tucks, trim off the excess cover yarn. Now

repeat entire procedure, starting at the other end of the splice. With splice area still under tension, apply tape to entire area.

Milk all of the excess cover slack from the middle of the

cover material down towards both ends of line. Tightly

tape the cover to the rope approximately equal to rope

diameter (in inches) back from the end of the cover.

Unbraid the cover strands from the tape to the end.
Seize over the area for a distance of 2 times rope

diameter (in inches) with nylon seizing material.

After seizing both ends of the cover material, apply a two-part urethane coating over the seized areas as

shown, extending the urethane coating 1/2 the length of the seized area on both sides of the seizing.

Release tension and slide the section of cover on the rope in Step 2 into position over the splice with the splice

crossover at the center. Remove all slack from the cover by milking away from the crossover in each direction.
