step
Remove tape from cover end. Cut cover
strands at an angle to avoid blunt end.
Smooth core from Mark 2 toward Mark 3
until cover ends just disappear inside.
Next, holding core at Mark 3, smooth core
from Mark 3 to Mark 2. Do this until all
excess is eliminated.
Hold rope at slipknot and with other hand,
milk the cover toward splice, gently at first,
and then more firmly. The cover will slide
over Mark 3, Mark 2, and finally Point X.
Be sure all excess cover is milked out so
that Point X (which will show as a bump)
is well inside the cover.
If final burying is difficult, flex the splice
back and forth to loosen the strands, then
continue burying.
Cut the protruding core off close at the cover. Once again milk
cover firmly towards the end so that it covers the cut off core.

Pinch taped end of cover, jam it tightly into
hollow end of fid. Hold core lightly at Mark 3,
place the pusher point into the taped end,
and push fid and cover through from Mark 2
and out at Mark 3. When using wire fids for
larger size ropes, attach fid to taped cover.
After fid is attached, milk the braid over the fid
while pulling fid through from Mark 2 to Mark 3.
