Ships, Sailing, Maritime | | Finnish term or phrase: kleedaus | Kleedaus and derivatives of kleedaus:
Kleedausrulla ja -puu
Purjelaivoissa ne osat vaijereista päällystettiin eli kleedattiin joihin jouduttiin tarttumaan käsin, sillä paljas vaijeri repi kädet verille. Kleedauspuuta pyöritettiin vaijerin ympäri samalla kun vaijerin päälle syötettiin kleedausrullasta tervattua narua eli määrlinkiä. |

| | English translation:serving | Explanation:
When finishing a splice, the process of winding waxed linen thread around the splice is called 'serving'. I wonder if it might fit in your context as well? At least this link seems to suggest so: http://www.charlescderokoinc.com/writing/index.htm |

| Grading comment Thanks for the replies and thanks for these links. I'm still not 100% convinced, so I guess I'll ask the client too.
