Cestria has virtually got it.
I've used it for many years now, and it is quite simple but fiddley.
When you start off, take a length about 12". Holding both ends try and wind one over the other keeping it tight. Once you have done 2 -3 times you can let the one side loose and concentrate on the run of the other (one thing it tends to do is follow the serving). Once you see a reasonable size ball test with an arrow and see if it sits correct on the mark or needs slight adjustment, this can be done by adding a turn or two on the side. Try to keep it to a minimum size, and once you are happy holding the floss tight just apply a midges of the super-glue rubbing it in with the finger. Cut off the excess and once more apply the glue with a generous dose. Note that there is no need to apply a knot in it, as the glue soaks in and bonds it and if done correct it will last. (This doesn't mean an inspection would go a miss when setting up.) The only point I would raise is that when applying the glue try not to get it on the serving where the arrow sits as the glue can in fact put a coat on the serving and make the knock feel tighter..............

Super-Glue;......It decides whether you and your bow will stay together
