Great video, I normally use tape on the ends instead of using heat to prevent them unravelling.
I don't bother with the 'narrowing' of the ends by 1/3 followed by another 1/3 though.

I am not sure why you leave the gap in the splice by the link. This is not the method I have seen used and tested by everyone else. What is your experience with this loose line? My experience without the space is a splice that lasts multi-year. The first link is held tight by the line and cannot wear as it is essentially a rigid connection with the chain. I would imagine that the gap would allow excessive wear and chafe as shown in your video.

thanks for the comments, I have also used tape before but the last rode I purchased was a bit finicky and the tape wouldn't hold so I resorted to melting the fiber. I have also seen folks that didn't taper the backsplice as you mention, The taper takes up a bit of time to accomplish but it seems to help the rode feed through my windlass better. Do you have any problems with it feeding through your windlass without the taper?

eniltrab you bring up a very good point that I may not have covered in the video...
1. You are correct that in most cases folks have had excellent success by snugging up the loop against the link which has been the standard for years.
2. With a vertical windlass this may cause the windlass to jam if that first link is held too tight.
I have used both methods and haven't noticed much of a difference on wear, BUT I re-tie every year regardless.
