Here is a link to one of the best knots I know for closing a bag or in this case a casing. http://www.animatedknots.com/constricto ... dknots.com
It never slips and can be tightened further as needed.

Ol' pal, that is a good one! Shucks, I was an Eagle Scout and missed that one somehow. :lol: Thanks for sharing Ross.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D

It is basically an clove hitch with an extra tuck. You can use it to seize the end of a rope to keep it from falling apart.
