Marlow rope
I had just plucked up the courage to ask a question , when the first item on the forum almost answered it for me.
I am trying to splice 14mm braid on braid with my new wand, book and novice enthusiasm.My first three attempts look awful, with the cover not swallowing all the core and threads snagged everywhere.Is this more of a problem with Marlow rope , or do I just need lots of practice.
My real question was what to do with the eye. For handybillies, running backstays, etc should they be left soft or should I try and insert a stainless eye into the mess?
