Help with tying a knot in stretch elastic please

Hello
I'm not an expert beader and wondered if someone could help me with tying a knot in Transparent Beadalon Elasticity for a bracelet please.
Any knot I try just pings open due to the stretch in the elastic.
Heeeelp- how do I make it stay knotted?

Thank you

I found this page with YouTube videos but most bead companies have how to pages https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ty...&client=safari
Hope the link works

I think most people just use a surgeon's knot and add a dot of flexible glue before trying to hide it all inside a bead.

superglue immediately springs to mind, but it is a no no for knots, because it makes them stiff and brittle as George has implied.
It is good for stiffening the ends for threading though.

Dennis.

We do about three reef knots then neaten that by tying the knot into an overhand.

i haven't done these often but when I have ive pulled the knot very tight and then done another knot and it seems to hold

Must admit I've never tried to tie knots in it - on the rare occasions I've used stretchy elastic I've used a crimp tube to join the two ends. I also tend to use two separate strands of elastic when possible - I'm never quite prepared to trust just one!
