When all strand pairs are routed, snug
the strands and remove the tape at the
base of the tail. Once routed, the strand
pairs should have an “X” (overlapping
right and left strands)between them or
they will touch.

Finally, once 3 of the
strand pairs have 6
full tucks, separate
the strand pairs into
individual strands
and drop 1 strand in
each pair, continuing
down 2 more tucks.
Cut the excess
tails to complete the
splice. Leave enough
of an end protruding
so that the end does
not slip back into
the rope when
over-loaded.
Dropped
strand pairs
Begin tucking the strand pairs over 1 and
under 2 for 3 tucks. Each strand is tucked
down the same row of picks in the braid,
over 1 strand and under 2 strands.
When all 6 strand pairs have been tucked
for 3 tucks, drop every other strand pair.
Use the remaining 3 strands to continue
down the rope for 3 more tucks.
