Neoprene wader repair.
- Not Superglue which is water soluble
Does this mean that super-glueing a knot is a waste of time? Richard Bailey fishing traditionally in The Fens |

That depends on the material you're knotting, there are waterproof cyanoacrylates which might be suitable in some circumstances. Superglueing (or anything which encases the knot in a rigid matrix) makes any knot in nylon weaker - so if that's your intention, go ahead. Cheerio, -- |

I believe that the main reason for knot failure is that over-tightening it produces strangulation of the standing part ie the main line where it leaves the knot. I have found that I get less of this inherent bloodknot problem when I superglue the knot, but had not realised that the glue was soluble in water. Richard. "Derek.Moody" wrote in message ...

The message
from "W. D. Grey" contains these words: Evostik, Thixofix are examples. - Not Superglue which is water soluble anyway. Hmm, never having used them before, I made up braided loops for all my new salmon and trout lines last year. I was then informed by a friend that braided loops have been 'rubbed off' by a hooked fish chaffing the braid against rocks and other solid submerged objects, so also Superglued them for added sucurity.

Nylon mono is used for casting small, complicated holes in rigid substrates as the line can always be drawn from the hole no matter how complicated the path. If superglue gets inside the knot it cannot close on itself under tension and so draws. What are you using bloodknots for - droppers? Home tied leaders? Have you tried a water knot for droppers - tied so the strain closes the knot rather than the lazy way which means that strain opens it? Cheerio, -- |

Cheerio, I am not familiar with this knot, do you have a link to a site that shows it? Er, no. Basically a double or triple overhand knot tied with two strands together but you can't usually tie it that way as the trick is to lead the strain out of opposite sides of the knot so make one overhand and work the other into it.
