The most important step in tying an FG is, after you've made the wraps and done a half hitch, pulling the braid and the leader really really hard. You should see the braid change colour when it seats properly. After that, trim the fluoro, do a couple more half hitches and the Risutto(?) finish and you should be good. If the knot seats properly when you're pulling it, it should never slip. The half hitches are just to stop the knot unravelling and have no strength function.
