I've tried double and triple knotting with no luck. Is it the knots or the floss ? Better options ? -Thanks

Sewn holes will often open up somewhat during the tanning process regardless of what you sew them with. I always re-sew damage repairs after tanning. Last edited by Boco; 01/06/20 05:14 PM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
