Splicing in paracord when you run out of cord

- Sometimes when braiding you may run out of cord. Sometimes you only have smaller cords that you want to use for braiding. And sometimes it is just not practical to work with long strings.
At that point you will want to splice in a new cord to continue your braid.
A photo tutorial on the technique:

This is a method that was demonstrated by Bruce Grant, but it does indeed remind me of the Manny method of joining paracord:

question... if you melted the spliced section a bit with a lighter after the last step, would that make it stronger or weaker?
weaker for sure. tested it
Just seeing this and I am new to paracord. After you join the 2 strands, would you then cut a little off of those ends and melt?
Needed this thank you
Obviously a very strong splice but how do you hide this?
what if I don't have a splicing tool though. I just started out doing paracord dog collar and I'm half way done but I have two ends just hanging because I ran out of orange paracord. So what do I do?

Hey Jonathan!
There are other options. You can make the lacing needle. I have a tutorial on an easy way here:

You can just use a nail instead of it and simply melt the cord onto it.
There are also knots you can use. The double fisherman's knot is a very strong strangle knot, while the sheet bend is a fast way of joining two pieces of cord. You should probably gut the section of cord (remove the inner strands) to prevent it being too bulky.

Nice vid. Without any hate, if you were to talk a little faster and buy a better mike, I'd be sure you would get a whole lot of subs and views because you have extraordinary projects.
With all due respect, it looks like the Manny Method splice without taking time to strip the core.
Yes, it is sometimes also called the "reverse Manny method". It is not used to join 2 pieces of cord like you normally would, but for extending the length of a cord when you need more.

how neat!
