How many wraps should I do to tie a fremont low g in the bridge of my tenor ukulele? With Koolau Alohis high g set I wrap them two times but I have this doubt for wound strings. Thanks for your help.

You're talking about the Fremont Soloist flat-wound, the so-called "squeakless" low G, right? I think I recognize your issue: Because the metal-wound Soloist is harder to bend/loop than nylon, I struggled a bit to get my usual two wraps in the bridge tie-off. But eventually I got there.
I only use one wrap on the Thomastik-Infeld chrome flat wound strings that I use and I've never had one slip. Even the flat wound strings grip pretty good once tension pinches it down to the bridge.
