Sta-Set X eye splice problem

[allene]

I may be missing something here but it looks like you have gotten past all the really difficult parts of making a splice in old line and just have to adjust your exit point a couple of inches to allow for the reduced flexibility of the old line. There is little harm in just going further down the line before you have the core exit as once it pulls itself inside, it will find its home. I think what I am saying is move the red line away from the end a couple of inches. There are parts of splicing old line that are very difficult and I think much of what you are reading relates to that but you are not having those problems so don't worry about that. As far as the splices you have made, you have to decide if you have enough core buried and then cut it off (taper it) and let it go back inside the cover. I don't think you want to leave it hanging out. If you don't have enough core buried, start over.
