Using instructions from "The Riggers Apprentice", I spliced thimbled eyes into some lines. Knowing that thimbles tend to work out, I tried very hard to ensure that the thimbles were snug in their new homes. What tips can be followed to better snug the thimbles and, is it appropriate to place a palm whipping below the thimble to better secure it? Thank you.
