Addictive stuff! Im looking forward to getting my splicing tools back soon

You pick up little tricks the more you do it.. Apparently a rubber mallet helps a lot with used rope. Helps flatten the fibres or something?? Onelab is pretty hot on his splicing and explained it to me. It made sense at the time but I can't recall now.
