Number of tucks in synthetic three-strand tapered eye splices

[wfraser]

Thanks for the comment. I'm not familiar with the back tuck. Is this one final tuck worked back over the top of the splice toward the eye?

When using polyester rope spliced with full tucks is it still a good idea then to flatten the strands to keep the size down?
