Re: Best Stopper Knots for Team Supplied Knots

I've already done a triple layer monkeys fist. After that many layers and wraps, you can get a very substantial knot. What I've found, is that for each successive layer you need to add two more wraps. (Ex 3,5,7) That is so you won't have wraps overlapping each other. I've also trimmed and fused the two extra ropes that stick out when you finish each layer (that is not the first fist). I've e only kept the strand that sticks out when you finish the first monkey fist. If you do it like that, the rope that the robot will be pulling on is deep within the knot.
