Thanks. I have a slightly used Drenaline that is the perfect candidate.

@Tommy_B Do you use a wire/long steel rod fid for the drenaline? I have been watching the splicing vids and all it seems to need is patience and a 50cm or longer wire fid

Latest one. The main struggle is getting the core out of the cover without too much distorsion.

The Samson video does not mention a stitch, the written instructions mention lock stitching. What are the opinions out there?

It is cold and windy so I ordered a fid and practiced while the wind was howling. I am following the Samsin guide for double braid class 1 splice.

thanks for the advice. Browsing multiple threads about splicing and rope whipping sparked some interest. Whipping the end looks like a good way to ensure the core and cover do not move again.

Yes. Rigging rope. Samson stable braid is the commercial name. Always used a block and I do a bowline as a termination knot.

@friedrich I have milked it back and the two parts get very close to each other and are "equalised". Once I milk both ends again, I will cut a few inches on both ends and look into stitching them. Thanks to all who chimed in.

I should add that it is happening on both ends.

This thread sees a lot of traffic so I am hijacking it. I would like to fix this situation on my rigging rope and maybe it will happen on my climbing rope too. Is there a name for this "condition". If there is a thread that already has info, feel free to point me to it. Thanks.
