Line Bulk up?
I think Alberto wants to take a stripped or tapered halyard and bulk up the portion of the tail that is belayed in the clutch.
He is suggesting that he wants to add a second layer of cover in the area of the clutch, and asking how.
I would suggest that a better solution would be to bulk up the line in that area by fattening up the core, thus increasing the diameter of the whole rope.
I would extract a length of core, insert some material in the core, and pull it back into the cover.
Anyone have detailed instructions on this?
