But even this required bulk-inducing whipping, besides the core. Actual splices were, well, you'll just have to try it to appreciate it. So we go with Sta-Set for endless sheets.
Fair leads,

I've tried endless (no pun intended, well I guess a little bit) varieties of tapering, burying, whipping and nothing gets the join anywhere close to the original diameter. I can get pretty close when, for example, making a grommet out of Amsteel 12 strand but the Regatta just bulks up enormously.

Maybe just not to be.
