Brion,

No, I haven't seen your splicing video. The explanation of how to pull that splice home really helps and makes more sense to me now.

This application is the standing part of my lazy jacks on my new junk rig. The top end will be shackled at the mast head, and the bottom end will have a line going through as the lower network in the topping lifts. (If I change my mind and make it running topping lifts, I expect to shackle a block on there instead of running a line through it)

I didn't chose Sta-Set X for this application--it just seemed like the best way to re-use workable lines I had from my old rig in my new rig.

Does anybody have a thought about that note in the NE Ropes splicing guide I mentioned earlier?

In step 5, this comment confused me: "Note: It may not be possible to bury the cover tail on every rope. If it is not possible then cross stitch and whip the cover tail to the outside of rope after burying the core." I'm seeing a result like this in some of my splices, but it isn't the cover tail which refuses to bury--in my case, it is the core tail which refuses to bury. I could whip over the tapered core tail a foot back from the eye to cover this.
