SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

ADJUSTING THE CORE OVER COVER

BURYING THE EXPOSED CORE

step

Remove tape from cover end. Cut cover

strands at an angle to avoid blunt end.

Smooth core from Mark 2 toward Mark 3

until cover ends just disappear inside.

Next, holding core at Mark 3, smooth core

from Mark 3 to Mark 2. Do this until all

excess is eliminated.

Hold rope at slipknot and with other hand,

milk the cover toward splice, gently at rst,

and then more rmly. The cover will slide

over Mark 3, Mark 2, and nally Point X.

Be sure all excess cover is milked out so

that Point X (which will show as a bump)

is well inside the cover.

If nal burying is difcult, ex the splice

back and forth to loosen the strands, then

continue burying.

Cut the protruding core off close at the cover. Once again milk

cover rmly towards the end so that it covers the cut off core.
