I spoke to "master" and he said that one overhand knot RH and then one
overhand knot LH using what you describe and he has never had a not come
undone. Plus...you are a glider guy...(!)

I never had much success with this idea - probably has something to do
with saliva quality. I lube lightly before tying then use two overhand knots.
 
Old story but maybe some haven't heard it yet:
 
To make an exact weight motor, cut strip to desired width but a little
over the desired weight, lube, put on o-rings, put on scale, cut off strip to
exact desired weight. Tie one overhand knot as close as possible to end of
motor, then spread the strands to move the knot as close as possible to the
end of the motor. Tie a second overhand (or underhand) knot inside of the
first one and spread the strands to move the second knot tight against the
first one.
 
This procedure looks brutal but I've never heard of anyone having problems
from it.

Just wondering, when I show the students know tying, I have them soak
the knot with saliva before pulling it tight and lubing, rarely get a
break at the knot and it really pulls up tight. Anyone here do this ?
