Default I almost understand

Hi,
Sorry to have been so long in replying, but sometimes these questions vanish at the bottom of my screen. If I understand you correctly, you are talking about cinching a thimble in place with a loop formed by passing the end through the standing part. Seems like a really bad idea. How about just side-splicing eyes to the standing parts? There'd be minimal deformation of the standing part, and you could even use a smaller diameter line for the added bits. Brummel and bury.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
