Remove fid. Pull hard on tapered tail with
one hand. With the other hand, smooth
bunched line towards eye splice until
Marks 2 and 3 converge.

step
When finished, Mark 2 and Mark 3 should be at the same point
at the vertex of the eye—which, yields desired eye size. To finish
eye splice, the splice must be lock stitched (procedure follows).
Pull out marked strands and cut off
Mark 3 consecutive strands

Remove the fid and any tape
at the end of the tail. From
the end of the tail, mark
3 consecutive strands, as
shown. Pull them out of the
braid and cut off close to the
body of the rope.
Now, using both hands and
the weight of your body,
smooth the cover slack from
Mark 3 towards Mark 4. The
tail will disappear into the
rope, and a smooth, gradual
taper should result.

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.
