Doesn't matter what size, for an eye splice it's a locked brummel...

New England 12 Strand locked brummel instructions

A full fid is 21 diameters, a long fid is 14 diameters, and a short fid is 7 diameters.

Easy splice. If you don't have a fid, use a bent coathanger and pull the tucks instead of pushing.

thanks for that ill have a go, matt

just done that splice looks good, whats good for the whipping? matt

I like #4 whipping twine but for the larger diameter tenex something bigger would probably be more appropriate. I don't know of anything specific to recommend, maybe Nick will chime in. Most whipping twine is a wax treated nylon. 1.75mm Zing-it would probably work.

Or just use some of your taper you made when making the splice. I also like the #4 but scraps are awesome and also save you some money. I like the Yale whip lock better than the others

Careful its a PDF.
