excess rope sheath

[jeff_r]

My relatively new PI rope, spliced at one end at Sherrill, seems to have an excess of sheath at the non-spliced end after running down it with a very tight hitch. After milking down the rope, there's a big bulge that I've isolated. Should I cut this off, or just try and even out the excess over the length of the rope? See attached.

Jeff,

Yes, just remove the tape and/or butane backsplice and trim the core and the sheath even.
