What is a splice?

FAQ
Large rolls of organic felt or glass mat are used in the shingle manufacturing process, and a splice is a glued or taped lap of the end of one roll to the beginning of the succeeding roll. Rolls of dry felt or glass mat must be spliced together to maintain continuous shingle production. Each splice is marked for rejection before the shingles are packaged. Occasionally, an error or oversight occurs where that splice gets packaged along with the shingles.

What about just putting the rope through the piercings?

Suspension FAQ
Flexible materials are not a suitable substitute for hooks or other rigid structures. Materials such as rope will tighten around the piercing, causing the skin to be pulled to one point and rip. More rigid items such as hooks are definitely better choices unless the goal is to tear free (for example in a ball dance or Sundance-type ceremony). In addition, doing this would result in major contamination of the rigging system, on top of the fact that there isn't really any way to sterilize rope.

Can I splice the wire?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Splicing is not a problem as long as it is done properly. It is vital that moisture be kept out of any splices or wire connections. Be sure to always use the same type and size wire, and also be sure that the splice is completely waterproof. To ensure a waterproof splice we recommend the 3M-316 irrigation splice. We make these splices available for $1.00 each. Click Here to order splices

Question: What do I do with that rope?

Contra Clan - Viewing FAQs : - [At a Worms Armageddon Clan S...
Fire it at a wall to connect. Up and down change the length, left and right change the direction. You can build up alot of energy and really fling yourself across the map after a bit of practice. To move around a bit more freely, hit space to detach, and then hit space again to fire the rope in whatever direction you're going to re-attach. Note: You MUST have at least one re-attach left to do this.

Will my Newspan® bridge have a splice midspan?

Skip Gibbs Company | FAQ
We believe that if we are physically able to deliver a bridge to a job site without splices, it should not contain splices. From support to support, in your bridge, the structural load-carrying sections will each be in one contiguous piece. Due to the feasibility of transporting such structures, if your bridge has a net usable width of greater than 12 feet between inside railing faces, your bridge will be delivered to the site in more than one piece.
