A couple of observations: you don't need to buy tools (they are actually quite expensive) as you say at the end, just use a wire. I would suggest an old thick knitting needle to open up the lines for the first steps. The only other thing that you should always do is to taper the end of the line before you bury it inside at the last step. Tapering the line makes a big difference to the final strength as you otherwise make a weak point where the internal line ends.

The tools are expensive but i find them so much easier than using the self made tools. Maybe the ones i made weren't great.

How do you tape the end of the lines and why it makes it stronger? Thanks

Great! But you need to taper the end of the line before burying it. The amount of line that gets buried should also be 50x the diameter of line

Thank you for this video. I always wanted to learn how to splice lines so to make short line variations, so I bought the tools you recommended and followed your video. By the second attempt I had success and now feel comfortable to fix and splice any lines I ever break. Thanks again for your video👍🏻👍🏻

I do it a little different. I do the the first mark, then pull it past the second and pull the line through. I find its easier than pulling the loop through the second hole.
@KookProofActivityCenter

I used to do it like that but then i found the line opened. It has to be sown if used that way. If you pull it doesn’t but once the line is slack the eye of the line can open.

@KookProofActivityCenter
3 жыл бұрын
If you break 1 line you need to cut all the others to make them have the same length. To connect them you need to make a loop to loop connection. So you will need to make loops in all 4 ends to do this. There is another way to fix it by splicing them together but this method also allows you to shorten the lines if you need it

All knots weaken the line. I don't recommend using figure 8 to connect the lines to the kite.
