So I did some searching and did not really find anything definitive about what is the best knot to secure rubber shock cord, like what comes in LP kits.
I did some experimenting the other night and tried the usual double overhand knot. Then pulled on it pretty good and guess what? Well you know it came apart! I thought well maybe smear some wood glue on it. That seemed to help.
But then I threw back to my sailing days and thought "Why not try a Bowline knot". Did that and pulled until the rubber snapped! The knot was still intact!
From now on that is the knot I will be using
Oh here is a video on how to tie one!
