I usually use fishing line for masks to keep them sturdy. As for Cuffs I use .8mm clear stretch string for cuffs! Hope this helped!

I agree. 7mm stretch magic is best

.7mm stretch magic works the best.

i've used both Stretch Magic 1mm & .7mm with singles & cuffs, but I'm soon gonna use some white stretch cord i found on Amazon for everything. i find the 1mm works with my peyotes & masks, but i feel like trying new string.

i use generic brand from walmart but anything with a clear stretchy string wrapped around a circle (i dont know how to explain that) i dont use fishing line, or elastic, because they are too bulky

For masks i use fishing line. Cuffs I use regular .5 mm elastic, but for singles, I use an elastic thats more stretchy than regular elastic.

I use bead and stretch =] and if its like a peyote where it doesn't need to stretch then fishing wire =]

1mm elastic stretch cord, crumpet had a link on the older website to the perfect string on a spool so you get a lot for the same price as the crap most people buy. Ive been beading since '07 and when I found the link in '09 not a single piece ive made with that cord has broken, and I swim and shower with my kandi frequently so if you want things to last, order the one she links to that is 1 mm whitewink

for regular singles i tend to use not to thin but not to thick stretch magic string, for the singles you want it to be stretchy enough so that you can fit it on ur wrist easily, for the cuffs you should use the same type string
