Wow, thanks! So many good tips in a short video! I have been having a hard time figuring out how to use a crimp (like 10x6mm) to make a loop end on leather cord intended for a phone lanyard... so strength is important... using a crimp END on cord looks straightforward, but this is not an end but a "cap"... I got the only tool suggested, which is for crimp ends, but I am basically just using it as normal pliers as it is really for smaller crimp ends. Never before have I found NOTHING on using a finding. At least your tip about using craft wire to bind before crimping is helpful in this case! Luckily the crimps come in 100's, as I've had to experiment a lot 😀 Although I still have to figure out this on my own, thanks for the concise, helpful video that will serve me in other ways!
Thank you for the video. For an unusually heavy necklace, would the use of a two-part epoxy be a good idea? If so, is there one that you would recommend, please?
We usually pick up Loc-Tite epoxy from our local hardware store and have had no complaints! It is available with different dry-times, which is very useful. :)
Thank you for show these details. Love it! ❤
