Actually the tails left are exactly the length that I would normally leave when trimming the original Knot. If you only need to remove a small amount you cam tie only one half of the knot and if you cut the tails off the outside knot will untie its self. I reverse the knot direction on each one. The details and a drawing are on the Cloudbuster web page.
I also can not claim credit for this as I was passing on to Marty information that I got from Larry Coslick if my memory is right.
