step
2
step
Lay out rope to be covered and from the end to be covered, measure off distance to be covered and make
Mark 1 on the rope. From Mark 1, measure off a distance of 15 inches and make Mark 2 on the rope.
Lay out Ice cover below rope to be covered and allow 15% more cover length than rope to be covered from Mark
1 to the end of the rope. Then make Mark 1 on the cover using Mark 1 on the rope as a guide. Next make Mark 2
and Mark 3 on the cover by measuring off 6 inches for each mark.
Feed rope into cover and milk cover
over rope until Mark 1 of cover and
Mark 1 of rope are matched. Then
lock stitch the cover to the rope from
Mark 1 back for 3 complete passes.

step
Tape and cut the Ice cover at Mark 3. Then extract the internal feed line from the cover at Mark 1. Attach feed line
to rope end to be covered by passing the feed line through the rope braid and forming a loop knot. Be careful not
to pull the feed line into the cover on the other end.
Attach feed line from other end of cover
to a fixed point for assistance in burying
the rope into the cover.
