1. After coming up through Q-link, slip tail through the 2.5 loops
2. Pull tight. Done

I don't remember where I picked up this knot or what it's called. they probably have it somewhere on animated knots for those that know, you could post it here. Anyhow this is a nice slim, trim knot that leaves the tail lined up for next step.
I like it because you have 2 wraps of cord around the link to help with stress from deployment, many knots do not.
Knot needed [pun],:lol:, but something I do,to further protect shock cord cheaply, with out buying any protectors.
3. 2 layers of tape on cord through link.
4. Followed by wrapping cord with tape appox. 10-12in. to protect from charge blast. You will see why only 10-12in later in process where I add a blast shield. If you hang link on something & put tension on it, much easier to wrap. Of course if there are an extra set of hands around to help, they can hold while you wrap.
5. Do same for other, larger cord. Black line there just as visual aid, showing how far tape goes.
It will eventually wear out or get several burn marks, I just re-wrap over it when needed.
