Hi all.
As a long time ship modeler and member in quite forums, I keep seeing that the issue of an easy way of seizing, is most wanted.
It was also for me but after many experiments, I ended up to the below method.
See what I mean.
As many of you, I also like fishing, so I came across the tool which allows you to tie fishing hooks easy, the "Tie-fast knot tyer". Then, I got the idea of a "Tie-fast seizing tyer".
I don’t know whether the fishing tool itself, can be used for seizing but I made my own tools…
So depending on the thickness of the threads I use, I modified three useless head paint brushes by trimming them down and creating a channel. See photo.

Every time I need to seize something, I choose the proper modified paintbrush's head and by following the sketches for the use of the "knot tyer" (modified as well), I make loops around the edge of it.
Then, I insert the loop (or single thread) that I want to be seized in the formed channel and carefully remove all the threads (loops and thread to be seized) from the paintbrush's head. See the sketches and the photos of the process.

Finally, I gently pull the two edges of the loops' thread and I have my seizing knot formed.

The seizing knot is slid able, so I move it to its final place, I cut the edges and secure with a drop of glue.

I hope you find my method easier than others.
Thanks

This is a great idea that I will have to try. Thanks, Rich (PT-2)
