Stayset X eyesplice

[Renoir]

I've read Brion's book, I bought the DVD and reviewed the process several times yet I have not been able to get the eye braid from bunching up. I have not been able to tightly wrap the cover "tail" with masking tape without breaking the tape. Regardless, I haven't been able to bury the taped part either.

I'm missing something. Yes, I've "snapped" the eye, which helps.

Have been able to do many double-braid eyesplices and do the bury successfully there. Just don't want to keep cutting off my failures on Staset X and have to buy a new length of 100 feet!

Any helpers?
Thanks,
Rick
