Beginning at the slip knot, milk the coat by squeezing it while sliding your

hand gradually toward the wire. Work in short, overlapping sections and do not
pull on the coat. When you have removed all slack, the core-to-wire portion of
the splice should be completely covered. Whip over the coat where the splice on
the core ends. (Instructions for whipping are given in chapter 13.)
For the coat-to-wire portion of the splice, unbraid the coat, smooth the yarns
out straight, and—as you did previously with the core—divide the yarns into
three groups. These groups must also be spliced into the wire, but they will be
inserted so they travel in the same direction as the wire strands. Insert each
group under the appropriate wire-strand pair, completing one round of tucks.
