I’ve often found myself trying to figure out how best to dress
the BoaBight. Now, I’ve found a dressing that gives both of
the (potential? --use of the EK isn’t specified) S.Parts 3 diameters
of material to surround --better rounding, heat sink effect?!
Referring to ABoK #1082’s finished-knot image (center),
the dressing I now favor will have that image’s
LEFT S.Part shifted up-over-rightwards to then
lie parallel with its twin; we might see this S.Part
as “exterior” --outside of the other.
NO OTHER CHANGES to #1082 state but this.
(Note that the BWL Analysis paper has the collar
at a different arrangement to the above --it needs
a twist. The lower eye (to viewer) & upper eye will be
held in those places at entry/exit by draw of the S.Parts)
Loading this shifted S.Part will, so far as I’ve
done some loading (300# in 10.5 rope),
NOT SLIP when the directly connected eye
to this S.Part is UNloaded --that will be adequately
nipped & held.
In sharp contrast to the reverse, loading the other
S.Part when its directly connected eye is UNloaded
–slips readily, with mere manual force !! BEWARE.
