Technique: Splicing double braid

1) Watch video here, all the way through before you start
2) Practice on some old line
3) Practice on some new line

Managed some pretty good looking splices with 3/8" line but still haven't managed to get the fid & line back past the Y on 5/16", just too tight! To manage with the 3/8" I also had to thin out the core a bit to get it into the fid properly. First practice run to the left, last to the right - neater - actual lines are neater still and on the boat already!
