Alfredo Contaldo demonstrates how to create a loop in double-braided polyester line by splicing two ends together.▶ 0:06 The process requires a splicing needle, a multi-tool, a marker, and adhesive tape.▶ 1:02 First, mark two points on each end of the line to serve as guides.▶ 1:06 Extract the inner core from the outer cover at these marks, taking care to avoid damaging the fibers.▶ 1:30 Taper the ends of the cover to facilitate insertion.▶ 2:20 Feed one end of the cover into the other, bypassing the core, and repeat the process for the second end.▶ 3:47 Once the loop takes shape, trim the excess core material and milk the cover to smooth the splice.▶ 5:38 Finally, secure the connection with a few stitches using a single strand extracted from the line, following the weave of the cover for a clean finish.▶ 6:07 Seal the remaining thread ends with a lighter.▶ 7:47 This method creates a functional loop but does not maximize the breaking strength of the line for applications like extending sheets or halyards.▶ 8:37
