SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

step
4A
After completing the rst 5 tucks, remove 1/2 of the volume of the
twisted yarns. Cut yarns from each of the 6 strands near the taped
ends and complete 3 more tucks with the reduced volume strands.
The strands are now
tucked into the braid
of the rope. 1 complete
tuck consists of passing
a strand over 1 strand
and under 2 strands.
The tucks proceed down
the same row of picks
straight down the body
of the rope.

remaining slack. Check that the
6 routed strands are snug.

SMOOTHING SLACK OVER TAPER

After completing the second set of 3 tucks, cut off the excess strands
and tape the ends. Leave enough of an end protruding so that the
end does not slip back into the rope when the rope is loaded.
