Show off them splices

[TylerHoffman]

Did up a tenex stiffy and an XTC eye this weekend. Also did both ends of my Imori. Did not like fighting with the Imori. Reminded me of trying to splice superbraid many, many years ago.

I like that tenex tether!

Two 16 strand splices I did. Both used ropes. The ne rope is VERY used and was kind of a beyach. But not bad using a com-a-long and a soft fid for the final bury. About an hour each. These are before I whipped them. Was too excited to climb on them.

Nice looking splices Tyler.

Thanks ML! Now onto some tachyon. Anyone have any suggestions/pointers? They will be greatly appreciated.

Take it slow, be deliberate, and don't pick any fibers during any step. Use lube like dish soap for the final bury and running the eye home. Good luck.

Have someone else do it and then pay them with a saaamwich and beer.

Worth, does the lube help, I've seen it mentioned before but have never tried it.

In conjunction with good tension and proper milking, slippery stuff makes it go in [emoji12]

Nice Tyler. Don't screw up your collarbone pulling those splices now

Nice, the Kernmaster went well, eh?

Haha the come-a-long is my buddy. Strongly recommend anyone who splices on a regular basis to own one.

yup, a couple tears later. She went in

Ha, I have a Warn Pullz-All I use.

Now that's just clever Trevor there. Never heard of one of those. I wouldn't like how it has one speed though cause I like to watch that final bury go in nice and slow and make the moment last. I start to drool and chuckle like beavis and butt head sometimes when the final bury pulls through in slow motion right in front of my eyes...

New rope is far easier to splice than old, esp. If its soiled.

Take 2 on used tachyon, turned out to be my best
