I was curious to find out what method stringers used when tying off a knot on the last string. So, I posted a poll and asked some of my colleagues at IART this question.
Here are the five methods and the results.
#1 - 40% Increase the tension by a certain number of pounds ranging from 3-5 pounds.
#2 - 35% Increase the tension by a percentage ranging from 10% to 20%, but mostly at 10%.
#3 - 22% Keep the same tension.
#4 - 1% Increase the tension and use an awl to lock the string.
#5 - 1% Other
Although there is no right or wrong method for tying off the last main or cross string, find out the USRSA's and IART's positions on this topic.
I'll share my 3-cents on this topic and demonstrate tips for creating a tie-off hole in two practical situations when tying off the last string.
5:53 - Tying polyester on polyester in a hybrid setup.
11:30 - Reduce string run and tension loss.
