Wire Splicing - Not For The Faint Hearted!Wire splicing is similar to rope but easier. <<>> The join you get from wire is stronger, do to the intertwining of more individual strands. Do not try representing the original multi stranded design. Of course that is the best finished product, but very difficult without a workshop! So taking both unwound ends, join them together with an overlap at each end. Gradually weave the strands in to each other. By taking one strand and weaving it in to it's opposing strand this will eventually give you a strong bond. The more times each strand is weaved the better for the overall strength of the join. It is very important to carry out this repair for temporary fixings only. The original strength will not be same. So get it replaced! Looking For Something Specific?
