Nice job mate

[BenR]

Thats a tasty looking rg craig

 

The bandit is a dan dass special, There some serious amount of full diameter bury there bro

[CraigD]

Cheers, that bandit looks good, have never spliced any whats it like?

[DrewB]

its a diff coloured blaze i think bro

[BenR]

Yea Drew is on it.. Its just camo blaze basically. I did both ends of the strop but the second one was a bitch to bury cos i milked a bit too much cover off the core before starting the other end.. Blisters through the gloves

[CraigD]

cheers drew. Ha speaking of blisters... decided i'd splice up a mates used velocity, still got about 3cm to bury but hands are recked, any tips to make it easier? I'm using rubber mallet to beat throat etc

[DrewB]

hey craig i presume youre not doing the used rope splice instructions by samson?? if not, soak in water, flex the throat like crazy, milk the throat backwards, shock load it, a bit of olive oil may help, rubber mallet and so on. sometimes there just a bitch. what colour was the core? whens its brown you know its going to trouble but ultimately still do able

[CraigD]

hey drew, thanks for the info yeah was a bit brown when I pulled it out, even after a wash. Yeah just doing standard splice, thought it wasn't going to be too bad haha so much for that. So yeah going to be a bit of bitch to say the least, but will try a bit of olive oil this weekend and soaking it in water, will chuck some picks up when I get it done

Cheers bro
