Default Or...

Hi again,
I didn't mention before that a smoothly-trimmed, unserved splice is fine, too.That's how the Pardey's do it, for instance. Service might help keep the tucks in place under extreme loads, but then again, it might just look nice. So as long as you trimn flush, breaking the yarns off instead of cutting them, you could skip the service altogether.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
