I've only just found this thread so forgive me if this has already been asked somewhere else.

I've been looking a different Utube vids about making elastic bracelets and they all seem to use some kind of glue on the knotted elastic to stop it slipping.

Do people find this is necessary? I'd hate to watch all my work pinging off the end of the elastic if the knot gave way!!!!!!! If so, what do you use? I've managed to find something called Dazzle-tac, but the only stuff I've found on most of the bead shops and craft shops seems to be a kind of superglue type thing. The videos seemed to use some kind of flexible glue/cement, and Dazzle-tac seems the closest thing to this.

Hope someone can help, I'll get my act together now and read the rest!!!!

i've always used a little blob of e6000, but can get messy. recently tried hypo-cement which works well as has a fine nozzle .
