I used this with thread to cover a stylist for my tablet. It was so slippery to hang onto and this worked out really well to add just enough grip to it. Been using it for about a year with no prob. Even thread seems to be lasting longer than I thought it would.
Glad to hear it! Although it is simple it still looks great and works really well with pens, knife handles, pencils and the likes. Just makes these items much more comfortable to use. Mark
David, I always find it useful to do a quick test run. Just do enough turns to cover say an inch, then from that work out the length required for the full distance.
Indeed Johnny Debt is correct. Usually, due to a number of factors (cord diameter, handle diameter, tightening) it makes sense to do a short trial run and see how much cord you use up. Always add 10 or 15% more just in case- better to waste some cord than time and effort. Mark
yeah, I was just wondering if there was a quick method. like with normal herringbone plaiting it is twice the length of what you're covering and enough strands to circumnavigate the circumference.
NICE ! ! ! about a month ago I sent you a message here asking if I could email you at your personal address,no reply,let me know either way thanks mark
Love this. Just wish I watch this one before the one you did 6 years ago. A great tutorial but this one has a more finished look.
I love *French Hitching* as it is really fast and effective way of covering things!

An excellent instructional video with no verbal diarrhea.
While tieing this knot ..if you tied under then over would your seam then stay in one place ..??
And how to calculate how much cord you need for the job?
That was amazing! your instruction was excellent, clear easy to see and understand! i cant wait to try this myself!
Many thanks, I just finished a machete handle ;)
Hi, how would you go about paracord a clothing clip, a soda size one
Any rough idea of amount of cord needed against length / diameter of the handle?

David, you will also find that with time comes the ability to estimate quite accurately, how many arms length of cord you require particular job.

I like this as you don’t have to predetermine the length of cord...also you don’t have to pull the entire length through each time..
lot easier then it look Thanks
Just to clarify, you removed the rubber band when you got to the top and didn't need to hold that piece down anymore, right?
I mostly use Gaucho knots.. I love Gaucho knots, I even call myself a Gauchoist :P
Is the thread of Polyester or nylon?
Hey!
Either will work. This one is nylon.
Mark
Oh hi Mark.
Howdy :).
Awesome
Mark
Will cloth electrical tap work? Any reason not to use it?
Donald
Hey!
Instead of waxing the grip? As long as it gives you enough friction it should do just fine!
