Does splicing work with thread wound around???

Thanks in advance,

Andrew,

I do have a method of making a loop of latex tubing but the procedure is rather complicated to explain without pictures, et cetera.

I strongly suggest that you use polycord for this application.

If you find that you really need to use latex, please repost here or PM or email me and I'll try and walk you through it.

Regards,

Mike
