Question 1

Has any one had the string split when you cut a length of the string off?  I did.

Accepted Answer

I did. Completely split. And stretched even after I stretched for jewelry making. Bought this for my Girl Scout to make bracelets and running to Michael's now to get a better quality string.

Question 2

Is it really flat like it says? I'm looking for a round elastic string

Accepted Answer

It’s definitely round. I restrung a beaded Apple Watch band and it worked beautifully

Question 3

I've found that some stretchy cords easily break apart over time, even if they weren't used.  Any such problems here?

Accepted Answer

This isn't a comment on the quality of this, specific elastic string. But, that is just the nature of elastic in general. It's basically no more than a fancy rubber band. And no matter what it's made of (though it's usually made of a latex-based rubber and/or a polyester material), it will break over time. It can even break if it's left alone; that's because of environmental factors like humidity and heat.

Better quality elastic will last longer, possibly years; but even that usually gives way after a while. That's why it's best to use elastic to make lower cost items you don't expect to last a lifetime, or beaded items where the beads can be moved to string or another elastic string at some point.

If you're using elastic to make things for sale then it might be a good idea to have a warning somewhere stating that elastic isn't meant to last a super-long time. Then, price your elastic items accordingly.

Question 4

Can I use this for glass beads?

Accepted Answer

Hi.  Yes, you can absolutely use the string for glass beads.  I do this often.  I suggest using glass beads that are not too heavy.  This stretchy string holds up pretty well.  I only use it to make bracelets & anklets.  It works just fine.
