easy way to tie dental floss (drive bands)

I brought some floss today for $2 (AUD) I hope to make use of it with the steam hobby. I've got  use of 1 hand (no, I don't want sympathy)

just some will suffice.

Are you left or right handed?

I'll try and see if I can learn to do it with one hand and make a video if I succeed.

For now I will make a video showing a two-hand operation.

A key point: get the waxed floss, folks, and wide is better than skinny (maybe)

And most of all, the knot's tags have to be heat seared to ball up so they can't pull through the knot.

I'll make a vid tomorrow or the next day for sure unless someone will do it first.

Floss---atticman's idea---is boss!

Ah I keep meaning to try this with my Bohm stirling, but never seem to remember to after a long day's grind..

(you know it's bad when you wake up from dreaming about doing inventory...)
