NOTE: If using heat shrink tubing to protect splice, insert rope through tubing now.

Eye Splice

1. Remove the jacket with a soldering gun for a length equal to 100 times the bare diameter of the rope.
2. Form the eye and affix it around the thimble.
3. Mark off the rope from the end of the thimble in equal spaces; each space being 6 times the bare diameter of the rope. Do this for the length of rope tail.
4. Separate the strands into 7 equal bundles.
5. If the rope is a PSWR, coat the body of the splice (where the marks were made in step 3) with rubber latex adhesive.
6. Individually wrap the strands around the rope, one at a time and alternate in opposite directions, to the last mark. Tape down the end of each strand after wrapping.
7. Applying the splice covering
   1. PSWR – Coat the splice with a rubber latex adhesive and wrap the entire splice with the braided jacket material. Let cure for 30 minutes.
   2. Extruded ropes – If using a heat shrink, pull tubing into place and shrink. If using a tape, completely cover the splice twice.

End-to-End Splice

1. Strip both ends to 100 times the bare diameter of the cable.
2. Separate the strands in 7 equal bundles.
3. The strands are now intermeshed so that the strands are passing each other in an alternate direction.
4. Temporarily tape the ends together so that some tension may be applied.
5. The ropes are now marked and spliced in both directions using above steps 3 through 7.
