I use some old 30lb braid fishing line. Holds up fine without having to glue it either.

Thanks on the 30# braided fishing line. Good idea.

BCY makes "nock tying thread". It's all I use.

I have always used waxed dental floss- I started using it just because I had it laying around, Its always lasted as long s my string.

I have used B50,D97 and nylon serving for tieing on nocks,it all works for me.

I have found the waxed dental floss to move on me, and the nail polish won't stick to it. The unwaxed is best.

Art-sinew for me...

TradArchers' World Magazine current issue has an article in it By David Soza. He uses BCY dyneema 3D end loop serving thread in .017.

Nylon serving thread works great.

I really like the look and feel unwaxed dental floss, coated with super glue. Real sleek and they last a long time, over a year of steady shooting.

I use B50 and have had no trouble with it and unlike dental floss, if you get bored with one color you can easily switch to another.

I have never had a problem with the round dental floss,waxed or not. I always ask my dentist for the cinnamon flavored floss because it is red

I put a drop of clear nail polish on it and it lasts as long as the string does.
