Very few knots will ever be at 100% of the rated strength for a line. However, if you moisten your knots before you pull them tight they will be much more effective. Other things that you can do to tie a better knot include:
• Tighten them very slowly.
• Keep an eye out for any weak frays.
• Test every knot by making sure to pull it hard.
These techniques will reduce the chance of a knot failure occurring at that moment when you least want it.
