Using Glue to Seal Knots When Beading?
I am brand-spanking new to beading. I bought a bead loom because of the nature of what I want to make. Because I am using the loom, I have to use cord rather than wire. What I am wondering is can I seal all my knots with a dab of Crazy Glue? Because I am weaving, it would be an absolute disaster if one of my knots should undo itself. I am just wondering if there’s a reason why I shouldn’t add a drop of glue.
Any tips or advice are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Well i use a plastic glue on mine but im sure any glue will be fine even super glue. I find that when i am finished it is a lot stronger if the knots have been glued and you dont have to worry about them coming undone.
