Hi again,
Keep tenion on the side of the eye that has the exposed core, and begin running the slack in. As soon as you see the cover around the eye begin to bunch up, STOP, and tension that side of the eye. The slack will go away. Resume on the core side, then again on the cover side, until the splice is home. Have you seen my video on this subject? Why do I bother?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss

PS,
What is the application here? Ordinarily, Sta-Set-X doesn't require a thimble, and it's easier to run home without one.
