🔍 Key Concepts

• Short splice vs. long splice – how each affects the diameter of the line and where each is used • Back splice – what its primary purpose is at the end of a single line • With the lay vs. against the lay – how strands are woven in a proper rope splice

💭 Think About

• Think about which splice you would want if the joined section of line needs to run freely through a block or fairlead with limited clearance. • Ask yourself: is a short splice considered temporary or permanent, and what change does it make to the rope’s diameter? • Consider what a back splice actually does to the bitter end of a rope and whether it is used to join two separate lines.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which splice increases the line diameter and which one keeps it almost the same. • Confirm whether a back splice is made on one line’s bitter end or between two separate lines. • Check whether a proper splice in fiber rope is normally done with the lay of the rope or against it.
