Cut off the cover at Mark 2 and discard
the rest of the cover material.
From the front of the lock stitch toward the end of the exposed core,
measure 15 inches and put a mark on the core. This will be Mark A.
Insert a splicing fid with
the cover into the core
as close to the lock stitch
as possible. Continue
pushing the fid through
the center of the core and
extract the fid and cover at
Mark A on the core.
Pull the cover out of the core until Mark 1 is exposed. Unbraid
the cover from the end back to Mark 1. Angle-cut the strands
from Mark 1 to the end of the cover to perform a taper.
At the point of cover insertion into the core, milk the core down toward the end of
the cover. This will cause the cover to disappear into the core.
Whip the area where the cover is inserted into the core,
to finish. (See pages 3-4 for tips on whipping.)
