When exiting of entering the braid with the fid, always go between strands. Insert the fid into the hollow core at Mark "2" and out at Mark "3". Attach the Uni-Fid hook through the cover and tape the tapered point to the fid as shown below. Taper this by cutting the end at a 45 degree angle. Using masking tape place two wraps of tape around the bitter end of the cover.

This is Mark "2".įrom Mark "2", measure one full fid length plus a short fid length toward the knot and make three marks completely around the core. Measure one short fid length from Mark "1" toward the knot and make two marks that go completely around the core. Once again, slide the cover toward the knot. Mark the core at the point where is exits from the cover. Then hold the knot and slide the slack cover back down the core in the direction of the end of the rope until all of the slack has been removed. Holding the exposed core, slide the cover braid back to the knot. Tightly tape the end of both the cover and core braids. Pull the end of the core braid completely our of the cover. Use care to avoid pulling any of the cover strands. Continue counting and marking in this 5:4 sequence to the end of the rope.īend the rope sharply at Mark "B" and carefully spread the cover strands to expose the core. From this point, count another four consecutive strands and mark the fourth strand pair. From Mark "C", count five consecutive left or right strands toward the end of the rope and mark the 5th left and right strand pair.From Mark "A", count eight consecutive left or right strands toward the end of the rope and make a heavy mark completely around the rope.From Mark "D", measure down the rope approximately 5 full fid lengths and tie a slip knot or figure 8 knot in the rope.From Mark "B", measure one long fid section (down the body of the rope) and make Mark "D".Using Mark "A" as a reference, form the desired size eye and make Mark "B" on the rope directly opposite to Mark "A" as shown below.From the end of the rope, measure back one full fid (conical pin made of hard wood used to open strands of rope) length, and Mark "A".
