Even Twist
Maintain consistent twist per inch — uneven twist creates weak spots under load.
Fiber Prep
Comb or align fibers before twisting — tangled feed makes lumpy, weak rope.
Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses when splicing under tension — fibers snap back unpredictably.
Safety Notes
- Wear eye protection when working under tension — fibers snap back unpredictably.
- Keep fingers clear of twisting hooks and wharves — hair and skin catch easily.
