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.
Whipping Finished Splice Method i

After completing Step 3, rotate spliced part of rope 90° and reinsert
end A into spliced area in the same fashion as in Steps 1, 2 and 3.
The splice will now be stitched on 2 planes perpendicular to each
other. Make sure you do not pull the stitching too tight.
S T E p 5
After stitching at least 3 complete stitches as in Step 3, extract both
ends of the twine together through the same opening in the braid.
Tie them together with a square knot and reinsert back into braid.
For double braids, re-insert the knot between the cover and core.
