Best Way to Tie Off Surgical Tubing

Hello CD world,

We are planning on using surgical tubing this year for our launching mechanism. We have been tying the surgical tubing in knots, but with the extreme stress we are putting it under the knots are slipping bit by bit. I was wondering if any people with a lot of experience with the stuff could advise us and other FIRST teams on the best way to tie the stuff. I have seen a few posts mentioning zip ties and hose clamps, but can't be certain if there is any trick to securing this stuff.

Thank you
