• Thread the needle about 10 inches through hollow and then push it out. Leave about an inch of first hollow hanging out of the length it is inside of, (this will come into play later).

• Now perform the same action, but opposite. Thread the tag end of the hollow you just went inside of through the end loop and insert the splicing needle into the other. Insert the needle about an inch from the junction heading toward the bulk of the line.

• Thread the needle about 10 inches through hollow and then push it out. Remember to leave the end of the hollow hanging out about 1 inch. The hollows should now be inside of each other with their tag ends hanging out.

• Hold one of the tag ends and push the hollow surrounding it down towards the junction. At this point a loop should appear at the junction.

• Now hold the other tag end and push the hollow down towards the junction. This should have taken up the loop.

• Now work the bunched up hollows back in opposite directions with your fingers. This will help to flatten everything out and take up any slack.

• Holding one of the tag ends, push the hollow surrounding it down about a half inch and cut. Perform the same action with the other tag end as well.

• Finally work each length of hollow back in opposite directions. This will cause the remaining tag ends to completely disappear.
