vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from snipped-for-privacy@webtv.net (rainbow) :



]Does anyone use this and if so, how are you finishing the ends. I saw it ]at Wal-mart and am curious abot because of the way it drapes. Anyone ? ]Are you using a crimpp and if so, what kind ?



it's what i use 95% of the time. it comes in several different weights. and for the heavier weights, i use regular crimps. it seems so be very nearly unbreakable - and incredibly flexible.



K-Mart usually has the cheapest prices for it.

Drapes beautifully, with a little more oomph than thread, but nothing so stiff as the softtouch wires. I usually end my pieces with a crimp tube, as well, sometimes with a touch of HypoCement for mad paranoia overkill.

I tie a seed bead on the end, apply a drop of glue, and use a bead tip. I've not tried crimps on the light weight line I use; I'm afraid it will cut it.
