If the hose is pulled out straight with an end which has fallen through to the other side of the coil you will create a string of thumb knots in the hose - one for every two loops of the coil. It can be a lot of trouble to get them out in a really long hose.</p> With the under and over method be careful to keep the ends on the right side of the coil.
