A concern about the Arborist Splice

[RonReese]

For the life of me, I can't seem to get the slack out of the cover in the eye. The eye looks pretty good, but when I "milk" the cover in the eye from one side of the eye to the other, it bunches up some. Boy that's frustrating! I thought I was keeping tension on the cover and the core as I buried them, but something's happening.

Since I haven't stitched it yet, I presume it's possible to "unbury" and re-bury and try to deal with the tension better??????
