I was just showing you how to tie it. I did this Friday night and had no issues.

Doing it my way... 8 overhand knots on top of each other and clipping the tag ends to 1/8 inches will never have to be retighten.

Thanks for the info. After I try this out (tying my own slips), I will definitely make a video.

I will try it the next time I get out on the water. Hopefully in a couple days. I have some video editing to do.
