Anyone had any luck or found tricks to make it work? I splice all my own ropes from new, it's mostly poison ivy. Splices up pretty nice and not too hard when new, but after using them a few months the spliced end starts getting a bit tatty, fraying/nicks or whatever and I never push my luck so I cut it off. Never really had much luck trying to resplice, I've tried it a few times and came close but could never get it so I've stopped trying. Tried all the usual tricks; milking, bending, mallet, the 'whip bury' method etc, no luck. Sometimes can't even get the core buried! I'm using the wand, tried piano wire fids too. I keep the ropes, but I love being on a spliced rope.
