artificial sinew make a single tie like you make starting to tie your shoe go 180 deg..opp side of string another knot do this for 6 or 7 knots double tie the last burn loose ends..you should be able to screw the know up or down your serving its all i use...

I've used serving material. Worked great. Just like stickbow said it makes it adjustable. There's a thread in the how to section on it.

Keeping the Faith!

I've used monofilament fishing line 30lb or so for years... tie off and melt the ends... never any issues...
