Double Braid Class I Back Splice

SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

Class I Double Braids are made from any or all of the following

bers: olen, polyester, or nylon.

The Samson Back Splice is a neat and permanent way to

terminate the end of a line. It is exible and can be tapered

to reduce bulk. To make a Back Splice half as long as

described, use half measurements.

MEASURING AND MARKING

step

EXTRACTING THE CORE

Bend rope sharply at Point X. With pusher or any sharp tool such as

an ice pick, awl, or marlin spike, separate cover strands to expose

core. First pry, then, pull core completely out of cover from Point X

to the taped rope end. Put 1 layer only of tape on end of core.

To assure correct positioning of Mark 1 do the

following. Holding exposed core, slide the cover as

far back towards the tightly tied slip knot as you

can. Then, rmly smooth cover back from slip

knot towards the taped end. Smooth again until

all cover slack is removed. Then, mark core

where it comes out of the cover. This is Mark 1.

Tape end to be spliced with 1 thin layer of

tape. Then, measure 1 tubular d length

(2 wire d lengths) from end of rope and

mark. This is Point X (Extraction).

Tie a tight slipknot approximately 5 d

lengths from Point X. This must be done.

step

MARKING THE CORE

Again, slide cover toward the slipknot to

expose more core.

From Mark 1 measure along core towards

Point X a distance equal to the short section

of d and make 2 heavy marks. This is Mark 2

(double measurements with wire d.)

From Mark 2 measure in the same direction

1 d length plus another short section of the

d and make 3 heavy marks. This is Mark 3

(double measurements with wire d.)
