Splicing Protocol
Recommended methods for creating strong and reliable splices.
Ready for splicing — carrier rope ends, Kenbest® fid, William Kenyon® safety knife, adhesive tape and marker.
Mark both ends approximately 18 in (46 cm) and 40 in (91 cm) from the end.
Push back the braided basket, insert one end of the carrier rope and release. To ensure a secure grip on the rope, compress the basket with your fingers. Insert the tip of the fid at the 18 in (46 cm) mark on the opposite end.
Pass the fid through the carrier rope and bring it out at the 40 in (91 cm) mark.
To create the proper taper, pull the end through and mark approximately 12 in (38 cm) and 7 in (18 cm). Insert the William Kenyon® lock-back safety knife at the 12 in (38 cm) mark and gently lift a group of strands. Cut and remove them. Repeat at the 7 in (18 cm) mark.
Once tapered, completely bury the end inside the center of the carrier rope.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the opposite end.
