[TowerTalk] Gluing rope

[Pete Smith]

I want to replace the up-haul ropes that support my 80M array.  To do 
that, I need to find a way to thread the new rope through small pulleys 
at the 95-foot level on my tower.  If possible, I'd like to do it 
without climbing all the way up there.  I could simply tie the new rope 
to the old one, but I'm concerned that any knot might be too big to make 
it through the pulley.

I've been thinking about mixing up a little two part epoxy and literally 
gluing the new rope to the old, end-to-end.  Has anyone out there done 
that, and if so, how did it work?  If you have a better way, please let 
me know.
