Double Braid Class I Eye Splice Modiﬁed for Used Rope

SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

Class I ropes are made from any or all of the following bers: olen, polyester, or nylon.

This is an eye splice which can be performed on used rope. This is an all-purpose splice technique designed for people who generally splice

used rope as frequently as new rope.

You may wish to read the supplemental information, “Special Tips for Splicing Used Rope” at the end of these instructions, before beginning.

Splicing used rope can be made easier by rst understanding the rope condition. Natural shrinkage has occurred caused by water and heat.

In addition, the cover yarns have often been abraded. Soak the section of rope to be spliced in water for several minutes — this lubricates

and loosens bers.

MEASURING AND MARKING

step

Tape end to be spliced with 1 thin layer of

tape. Then, measure 1 tubular d length

(2 wire d lengths) from end of rope and

mark. This is Point R (Reference). From Point

R form a loop the size of the eye desired and

mark. This is Point X, where you extract core

from inside the cover. If using a thimble, form

the loop around the thimble. Tie a tight

slipknot approximately 5 d lengths from

Point X. This must be done!

Again slide cover toward slipknot to

expose more core.

From Mark 1, measure along core

towards Point X a distance equal to

the short section of tubular d (2 short

sections with wire d) and make 2

heavy marks. This is Mark 2.

From Mark 2, measure in the same di-

rection 1 d length plus another short

section of the d, (with wire d double

measurements) make 3 heavy marks.

This is Mark 3.

step

EXTRACTING THE CORE

MARKING THE CORE

Bend rope sharply at Point X. With the pusher or any sharp tool such as an ice pick, awl, or marlin spike, spread the cover

strands to expose core. First pry, then, pull the core completely out of cover from Point X to the taped end of the rope. Put

one layer only on end of core.

Tip: After marking cover, untape end of rope, grasp end of core, and slide back cover pulling out core.

This loosens and bunches up cover strands in the area of Point X and makes it easier to open

up cover strands for extraction. Also, thoroughly loosen 3–4 strand pairs

at Point X to assure a large and exible hole for extraction, see right.

To assure correct positioning of Mark 1 do the following:

Holding the exposed core, slide cover

as far back towards the tightly tied

slipknot as you can. Then, rmly

smooth the cover back from the

slipknot towards taped end.

Smooth again until all cover

slack is removed. Then,

mark the core where it comes

out of the cover. This is Mark 1.
