Hey all,
I'm getting started in splicing 16 strand climbing rope, and I'm trying some New England Hi-vee, and the final bury is extremely difficult. Is it just me, or is it something I'm doing wrong? I can get it to move about 1/8 of an inch each pull before I have to work and lossen the rope.
Could easily be convinced I'm doing something wrong, but is this rope just that difficult? Any tips or tricks I should know? I'm using a wire fid and I'm having to put it in a vice while I use my entire body to pull against it.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
