How to tie a Short Splice with 3 strand rope ⎸Tutorial - Professional Yacht Training USA

Short Splice description:
In this detailed video tutorial, we show you easy step by step instructions for splicing two pieces of 3 stranded rope together using a short splice.
A short splice is used to permanently join two lines together when the join is not required to move through a block. It can be used in place of a knot to join two ropes or the ends of the same rope together.
You will commonly use a short splice in a line that has been cut, or frayed or an unsafe portion needs to be cut out.
Please note that If two ropes are being joined with a short splice, they should be the same type of rope and have the same diameter.

Thanks for the video. I followed the instructions and also tried to taper towards the last 2 splices. I used nylon rope which I think you have too? I didn't want to seal the ends because I'm trying to make a soft dogs collar. I put small 6 turn wippings on the centre and at the 3rd splice positions, but unfortunately the ends are unravelling. As fast as I cut off the stragglers, more arrive. Is there any way to prevent soft nylon rope from slowly unravelling the splice, without making hard spots by sealing the ends? Thanks

I've left tails long...melted long,and thin... kinda icicle shape
Then feed into center of rope and bury them....best I found.....
I don't like the char look on certain applications...such as yours..
