Alternate to Splicing braided line
My condolences, I've tried the same thing with proper tools and although I did not have a video I did research the procedure and had diagrams. I decided it was impossible and did NOT to use the so called prescribed method and came up with my own.
Example: Roller furling line.. I wanted a tapered line that breaks to smaller dia line in two places. First splice: I pulled the cover back exposing about 24" of core from the largest OD line, cut the core, inserted the entire diameter of line for the smaller line, pulled the larger cover down and sewed the cover down in mulitple locations then using waxed whipping twine I whipped the area of the splice about 1.5" long area. used this same procedure for the next size reduction. Been working without problems for 2+ years.
