Geoff's advice is very good. Just one small quibble with it. If you are using a 
very thin string like Neil Brook’s Wonder String, you may find that the best 
results come from applying cotton only to about a quarter to half the width of 
the wheel on the bridge side. If you'll forgive my ASCII art, something like 
this:


                             Cotton
String => -------------------|||||--------
                    _____________       ^
Wheel =>           |             |     | |
                   |             |     | |  <= Bridge



(Hope that transfers in some way that makes sense.)
