vXTC now has twisted core, making it easier to snag on the crossover. New England has the easiest 16's to splice of the quality ropes. The Neolite stuff is crazy easy to splice, so easy that if not lockstitched it will pull out under normal use. It is the only 16 strand I have ever seen that HAD to be stitched.

Dave I re-spliced that crazy light rope you gave me for trial....Turned out ok, but now the rope is only 100'. Bummer, it's just not adequate for most my tie ins and I like using that rope.[/QUOT
You did do a Class 2 double braid, yes?
Another vote for NE Hi-Vee here for an easy splice.
The Edelrid 16 strand is a bitch, never struggled too much with XTC, unless you catch a cover strand of course.

I have found pulling the core as well as the tapered cover at the same time can help to get things moving.
Nick gave me a link for instructions to splice this stuff, I followed 'em and they have the core in the eye.....

I'm "trying" it again and I think I have 3"+ for the eye.....

I did? I sent you a ling to a fid table...
Yep, you just had the wrong instructions! I'll post some 16 strand instructions later, but with 16 strand you shouldn't have the core in the eye at all.
