How To String Beads Tightly Using Tigertail and a Magnetic Barrel-Type Clasp
Question:How do I draw beads up tight using tigertail and a magnetic barrel-type clasp?I have no problem using co-polymer cording and melting it to form a knot inside the clasp, but are there any tricks to using tigertail with a magnetic clasp, and being able to get the beads drawn up close? (Barrel type clasp with hole thru, not with loops on the ends). Answers:The trick to drawing the beads up close using tigertail is to crimp the end using a crimp tube. You'll need to use a pair of crimping pliers to crimp the tube properly, and fold it over. Because you'll be crimping only one strand of tigertail, I'd recommend using a pair of micro-crimping pliers and the smallest crimp tubes - I believe they're size 1/0 (pronounced one ought) Good luck!
