Thanks all, yeah Pete I will lock stitch it later when I find out how:) Then I can try it tomorrow Stu. I have been struggling with the double braid splice for days until today when I read some of Jamie's and Nicks advice over at the house, namely stitching the cross over and making the tapered cover neater.

 

It's a Marlow cord and it looks like it's 9mm.

There are good lockstitching instructions on the samson website.

Thanks Pete.

How long is the bury? I find that long splice leave the legs too long on a VT and don't work that well.

 

Thats why (I'm guessing) Ocean polyester has stitched eyes?
