Smart beads - still have a lot of trouble

[Leo808]

I know this subject has been covered before and I have used the reamer as instructed BUT ... I purchased the cable choker and smart beads that were listed to make the "Caramel Cubes Necklace", now the cable choker is coming apart.  Do you have any more tips on how I can do this process?  leo808

Hi,

I've never seen one of the cable chokers come apart, but I can see where it could.  The last 1/8" of the cable choker looks like it has a little extra sealant on it, to prevent it fraying while the end is unsecured.  It's likely this has been accidentally peeled/scraped off while putting tight-fitting beads onto the choker.

Can you re-seal it -- perhaps with some superglue?  After re-sealing it, you might need to snip off stray ends.  This should allow you to get the last beads on, and then fit the loose end into the crimp end.
