Im looking for advice on thimble eye splicing double braid nylon rope, iv researched on google, looked at pictures, watched videos, (see link) purchased the figs etc.


It looks so easy for them as the splicing just slides nicely when pushed and pulled but they are usually using larger diameter than the 8mm and 6mm rope I have which just binds up when trying to push fig between the cores, even plucking the inner core out is proving tricky.

Any secretes solutions ?
