When tightening any knot, follow the “work
                        snug and then tighten” guideline. Most knots
                   ZOOM  require some coaxing to tighten. Take out the
                        slack a little at a time, removing it from both
                        the working and the standing ends, until the
                        knot allows no light to pass through its parts.
                        Last of all, give it a tightening tug.
