Oops. Formula 2001.

  I bought some Formula 2000 several years ago but couldn't get knots to hold when using it. Might be worth another try.

  Sometime back I saw a reference to Dow-Corning #33 Medium lubricant. I think it was by
  Larry Coslick. I acquired a tube from a lubricant warehouse (about $10) and love it. I do thin
  it out a little with silicon oil and have found I can't get a regular knot to hold at all. (However,
  friends have been able to make it hold with a really convoluted knot). I prelube the knot area
  and tie the first overhand and put a tiny bit of thin CA on the outside of the knot and then tie
  the second overhand inside of the first. This stuff is very slippery but I have never had a knot
  slip doing it this way. Interestingly, the label mentions in several places "not for internal use"?
