You can make a fid for 3 stand out of a chunk of half inch pipe, just cut the end at a 45 degree angle to make it easier to insert. Tape the ends really well or use constrictor knots, and when you do your tucks make sure to twist it to keep the tight lay. The problem with synthetic ropes is that...
Yes. Get some cheap natural 3 strand when you are learning to splice, it holds its shape much better making it easier at first. You will need to tape the ends more often with poly ropes, and often work to maintain the twist of the ends.
