Is the clear string really that bad ;-;

Deleted Account 5/5/2021 08:52 am 2626

For the majority of my projects, I've used the clear string. And every time I watch a tutorial, they always say something along the lines of "pls don't use the clear string it bad" and uhhhh so far nothing has fallen but uh-

IS ALL MY KANDI GONNA FALL APART??? NOW I'M LIKE SUPER WORRIED-

I KNOW SOME TYPES OF CLEAR ELASTIC IS BAD, BUT IM SURE SOME TYPES REALLY HOLD UP! ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS I HAVE WITH CLEAR ELASTIC IS THAT IT DOESN'T HOLD KNOTS AND IT DOESNT LAST AS LONG AS THE FABRIC ELASITC.

its not THAT bad, but tbh the elastic string is a lot easier to work with. also in the past i found that knots dont stay very well with the clear string

ok guys! thank you all for your input! I'll be more careful with it!

I use it for the outside part of 3d cuffs. It's fine as long as you use a light hand.

its fine to use, its just not as good as the fabric cord. it does tend to:

stretch out super easy

snap if you pull it to hard

have the knots come out easy [if you dont use nail polish/glue !!!!]

be not as sturdy as fabric coated

but if youre using the thick cord like liyakitten does, it should be completely fine !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use it for stuff all the time! just make sure the knots are tight and use nail polish or super glue to make sure its safe
