Sigh...
Hello,
I have made some progress in writing; Book 1, Basic Knots, is only waiting for a few illustrations to be done, and we'll print it. Trouble is, the illustrator is in Kansas until March. Sorry for the delay.
Meanwhile, an uncovered single-braid to a conventional double-braid might look like this:
proportion the single-braid such that it is long enough to be past the winch before full hoist; proportion the double-braid cover such that it will be above the stopper by a couple of feet at full hoist; splice the single-braid to the core of the double braid; retract the core, pulling the single-braid in after it; cut off the excess core. The splice of braid to core will vary with the application. If constant diameter is an issue it is toughest, and toughest to describe. I'm not trying to avoid divulging here, but I wish the illustrator weren't in Kansas. Ashley shows a "long short splice", and you can do something similar with braid. If a little bulge will pass the stopper, then you can do a basic or a locked end-to-end. Some people just cut the two on an angle, and stitch the two parts together.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
