Thanks Nick.

I like splicing threads, and nobody gets too bent outta shape! My first PI splice. Won't be the last, cause I want to get better at it.

I think Carl is a nice fellow, but there ain't no way I'm gonna pull his rope.

Hey Nick, I'm wondering if it is OK or a big No No to reduce friction by applying something like "Seweze" or similar silicone spray thread lubricant? I know friction is a necessary part of the equation, but I'd rather compensate fir n easier bury by adding a few more lockstitches afterwards...

I watched that video so much, it didn't seem fair that my rope wouldn't cooperate like his did. Watch itfor a minute, hit Pause, and try to duplicate what he did (in a couple of seconds), and twenty minutes later, got to watch another step; pause, replay, pause, sweat some more, remove more...

Nick's Tou-Tube video of splicing Blue Moon (same as PI) makes it look so EASY! Makes me wonder if he marinated that rope in WD40 or Palmolive Dish Soap for. Couple of hours beforehand. And do not combine Nick's video with Toss's instructions (going back and forth from one to the other). Thy...

My first PI splice took a couple of hours too, and it was a bit of a death struggle. The snare on the Toss wand succumbed quickly, and then it was all up to Mr. Coat Hanger & co. I seriously debated hooking up a come-a-long to get the damn core to come a long.

I'm no heck at splicing, but you may want to practice first on a piece of Stable Braid, because it is a lot easier to splice than the PI, using the same method (just different dia =different measurements). I have found burying the core on PI to be a PITA, but my skillset isn't very good.
