Attach Bullnose Insulator

Fencing Like A Pro...Knot tying..Pulling wire tight and more!
What happens here
After tying the termination knot, slide a bullnose insulator onto the main high-tensile wire. To secure the insulator to the post, create a wire 'tail' (about 3 feet long) from a piece of 12.5 gauge high-tensile wire. Bend one end of this tail around the post and secure it with a termination knot. Then, thread the other end of the tail through the bullnose insulator, around the main wire, and back through the insulator. Make six tight wraps around itself to secure the insulator to the post. The bullnose insulator is designed to isolate the electric charge from the steel post, ensuring the electric fence remains effective.
Goal: Secure the bullnose insulator to the post, isolating the hot wire.
