Make three more rounds of tucks unless the rope is nylon, which holds better
with five or six rounds.
For a smooth, better-looking splice, finish with the California method: After
the rounds of tucks are complete, the first strand is left as is. The next strand is
tucked once (as in the beginning steps), and the last strand is tucked twice.
