Chaos
Hi,
First, I'm glad that you are pursuing this skill; the world needs good splicers. Second, I must warn you that once you get rolling the heart down, you can expect to be frustrated by a succession of other details, as you approach mastery. Third, try leaving the last inch of the core, up by the thimble intact, so your spike can make a good start. Fourth, keep a light pull on the core pieces, and keep them behind the spike. You do this by changing their angle, as the spike changes angle. Fifth, this is awfully hard to describe in print, which is why I made that video on splicing wire. Do you have it?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
