arborist learning to eye splice

[Tom Roberts]

Thanks Jason.

Blisters are NOT normal when splicing. You're fighting the rope too much. Rather than relying on brute force, and sweat...massage the rope more to loosen the fibers...by grabbing the throat of the splice and bending sharply back and forth. Then bury a little more, then massage more.

Let us know how it goes!
