Wombat is right on when he told us, "...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?"
Yes, Neil. I've been using saliva for more years than I can recall, probably learned from my old friend and mentor, Clarence Mather, when we both belonged to a small model club back in Naperville, IL. I recall only one time that a "salived" knot pulled loose. Breaks at the knot are seldom seen on indoor or outdoor motors.
