Splicing Swiftcord

[osteoderm]

i was having similar problems splicing some tiny Maxibraid. The Mobius Brummel worked out great, but darned if i could bury the tail! In lieu of a microwand, i used some sail twine:
i started with a hank of twine a little over twice the length of the bury, doubled it over, and threaded the two bitter ends through the eye of a blunted needle. i milked the needle, eye-first, down the inside of the line, away from the splice. A little past the length of the bury, i fed the needle out, removed it from the bitter ends, and was left with a loop projecting from the beginning of the bury, and the two bitter ends projecting from past the end of the bury. i tucked the frayed tail through the loop, and pulled it through, milking plenty of slack into the line.
After a few of these, i found that if i used a long enough piece of twine, i could leave the tail entirely buried on the first go, rather than the usual procedure of pulling it free, removing the loop, then milking the frayed and tapered end back into the line. i then tapered the frayed end before pulling it through. To remove "trapped" twine, i usually just pulled on one of the bitter ends, rather than both. Only once did the twine break, but since there was a smooth bury evident (nice, compact, tapered), i just left the broken bit of twine in there; i don't suppose it'll hurt any.
