Increasing double braid diameter

[Bob Pingel]

I think Alberto wants to take a stripped or tapered halyard and bulk up the portion of the tail that is belayed in the clutch.

He is suggesting that he wants to add a second layer of cover in the area of the clutch, and asking how.

I would suggest that a better solution would be to bulk up the line in that area by fattening up the core, thus increasing the diameter of the whole rope.

I would extract a length of core, insert some material in the core, and pull it back into the cover.

Anyone have detailed instructions on this?
