Bury the exposed ends by alternately smoothing the
rope from the eye down and from the knot up.
7 c
Measure from the cut ends back 6-1/2 inches towards the point where they exit from the rope (both the cover and core
tails.) Taper the tails by cutting out 1 S-twist and 1 Z-twist strand approximately every 1-1/2 inches. This taper provides
a smooth transition from the buried tail of the splice to the core yarns extending down the remainder of the rope.
