Easy step by step instructions for splicing two ropes together using a short splice in this detailed knot tying video tutorial. Splicing is a way of interweaving rope and is the strongest way to join two ropes, retaining 80 to 95 percent of rope strength. Splicing used to be a basic part of nautical, sailing and boating knowledge which is fading since you can buy marine ropes, dock lines and anchor lines pre-spliced,. Same goes with rigging and climbing ropes. You can DIY (do it yourself) and have the splice just as strong. Three strand splicing can be done in nylon, poly, hemp, sisal, or cotton ropes, as long as there are three strands. Once you have finished the splicing procedure the three loose strands should be neatly braided into the standing part of the rope, with the ends heat sealed. If you want to get fancy you can whip the ends of the individual strands with common whipping and the whole splice can be whipped or tapered to finish. If you are having trouble opening the strands a rope tool called a fid can be used.
