Un string your bow might help some but the waxed dental floss, and then heated with a match until it melts together is what I use.

I used to use Fletch Tite also. Never had a string break. My currant method is to use waxed string for sewing leather. I get it at Tandy leather store. It is limp from the wax so easy to work with. I tie my knot and use my heat gun to set.

The nock tying thread BCY makes works great. Use the knot Ryan shows (S2 Bowstrings)--it's quick and easy--then melt the ends. The nock tying thread melts great. It's also good for tying on silencers, etc.
If you don't want it to be adjustable, just tie it tighter.

I've been lucky in that a string has never broken on me whether I used metal or tie - on nocks.
The only string problem that has reared it's ugly head is the flemish twist string broke some strands on the upper limb end. It didn't totally break, it just unraveled enough to make the bow look like it had been unstrung. Unfortunately I had just started drawing the bow when the string did it's dance. Wasn't exactly a happy moment!

Ive broke 3 this year! There was a burrin the string groove on my favorite longbow, and it has been fixed now.
I dont know what could be causing your situation. I have never experienced or heard of that before.

First off thanks to all of you for the helpfull imformation .Its a weird thing as they have been different types of bows strings and arrows that have been used.And the last one(nock) was not tight at all as i would adjust them every now and then and they would move fairly easily.Not sure of the serving materials but this last one was 8 strand and the other two were thicker.

I'm at a loss at what's causing it! I've got nothing. I did have ONE bow string break and it was when the original FF string came out and I was using a brass crimp on nock locater. It broke right at the crimp on locator. I've since advanced to HP skinny strings with Halo serving super glueing tie on nock locators and never had a problem.
