Samson Vs NE ropes splicing instructions

[benz]

Thanks,

I will check out Yale's directions, but unless they are far and away superior to NE's, I'll probably stick with the latter's instructions, which I've used with their version of that rope with good results. Less importantly, any thoughts on Samson's recommended method or serving the splice? Their video says to parcel it with masking tape and to hitch each turn of the service, which seems ugly to me. Still, they stress that it is a necessary step. I planned to serve my splices with plain round turns, which seems more tidy. Anyhoo nothing like Too Much Information!
