    Default Stringing pearls -glueing knots

    Hi, don`t use superglue to seal the knots, it dries stiff, i use clear nail varnish on the last knot that i threaded back from the clasp, (if using the gimp method), apply the nail varnish to the knot making sure it soaks into the thread and leave a tail of thread,wait until the nail varnish is dry, then cut as close as possible to the knot using a craft knife.
