Thanks Bob. You got the problem.
I've already thought at what your're saying but, in search for the 'perfect solution', I've abandoned the idea of inserting something in the original core. Fatting the core would create tension inside the cover (not built for a fatter core) and the resulting rope would be rigid and difficult to handle. The same result you get in the part of the rope near to an eye splice.
On the contrary, if it would be possible to add a second cover, as this second cover has been braided with a larger diameter, I expect there will be lover tension inside and the rope will be more flexible and easy to handle or to be used on a wich easily.
Anyway, if there is no better solution, I'll exactly what you said. In my own picture I have to put inside the core a second core (about 2mm in diameter) taken from another rope. To get everything in place I supposed to sew the 'double core' with a sail needle. Nothing more.
Thank you again.
Alberto.-
