8mm OP splice

[Joe Newton]

Evening guys, after a bit of advice.

 

Been trying to splice some 8mm OP onto a pinto. Using a wand on class 1 DB.

 

Ran into trouble on the final bury, core into cover, past the neck of the splice. Got stuck at the neck, and I ended up snapping the snare on my wand trying to complete it.

 

Thinking maybe I should taper the core before burying it? Maybe a wire fid is better?

 

Anyone spliced this cord easily? Maybe Sirius is a better bet.

Good. I hate OP. The bannister is mullered too.

 

Cheers John, I'll order some more Sirius, I was on a roll with Velocity, thought I'd got it figured, and the OP just bitch-slapped me back into my place.

the cover taper is a bit different for Sirius, but youll work it out or il take a picture

Not just every 5th strand then? Ah I'll look up the instructions. Working on a new pulley saver. The one you made for me years ago is still solid but I fancied a challenge.

 

Got the main part done pretty easily using velocity. Lovely rope. Just the pinto part to do. I've got some 9mm tenex about but I don't want to fanny out!

Aah, looks like 5,4,5,4 etc
