Kevlar Tie & Retention Tips

It's hard to get a Kevlar square knot to tie tight around the motor mount tube.

Tie the first overhand knot and tighten. Apply a very small drop of glue on the knot without gluing the line to the tube. You'll want it to slide up later. Let the glue drop dry.

That little drop of glue helps hold the slippery Kevlar line in place so you can tie the reversed overhand knot on top of it making a Square Knot.

 

Slide the tied loop down, away from the centering ring joint. 

Apply a small glue fillet to the upper centering ring joint. This doesn't take much glue, the overhang loose end will stick easier to less glue.

Cut the free end off at about 1/2" long. 

Slide the Kevlar loop up into the glue. Tuck the loose free end under the loop.
