of the looped twine lay over the completed whipping.
Tape the free ends of the loop past the already
whipped area.

Continue whipping for the desired total length over the top

choosing twines for whipping:
In general, braided nylon twine is preferred for whipping.
Polyester twines, or twisted twines in either polyester or nylon,
can also be used.
For double braids the twine used should be approximately twice
thediameter of the strands in the cover.
Whip or seize the end of the spliced area with whipping twine for
extra security and a professional touch. Keeping tension on rope
while wrapping results in tighter whipping.
