So I stripped the coating off the back end of a new sharkskin line with some solvent. The braided core seems to be too tightly wound to reverse blind splice because I can't even get a needle through it. So I just tied a blood knot between the backing and the core of the line. Bad move? Is there a better knot for this? I don't like the Albright knot. Just wondering if anyone managed to get a blind splice into that core, I bet it would hold great if you could just thread the piano wire through there.
