Check out Clifford Ashley's book of Knots He also calls the reef knot a killer, or for packages. In fact the knot is named for an application of easy undoing. The two responses with drawings of the water knot are your best bet. My new Necky has goop on the end of an overhand knot on deck bungie. The other knot you might try is a fishermans knot. Maybe tie a knot and put heat shrink on the ends. Put the heat shrink on first then tie the knot pulling the shrink back on line and the end last. The bungie may stretch and you can't untie the binding knots but it is cheap and a knife will solve that problem.
