Has anyone experienced the beads moving and exposing the knots? mine is fairly new and now maybe stretched out?

They definitely move. I don't find that to be a problem- I just pop them back into place.

Sorry, no. I never used mine and have lost them. My suggestion would be to try tying knots in the band.

My o-ring leaked at first, and my dad jut kept taking it off and putting it back on and tightened it until it quit leaking. I thing what happened is that it wasn't going o the threads correctly. I hope this help you!!! Be blessed!!!

Hmm. It seemed like mine loosened up once it was a little warm. I'm not sure though. Did you ask the distributor for feedback?

I will have to ask my granddaughter, she has the necklace we made. Be i've not heard her say anything about it coming apart. It was so cool how this works we really had fun making the paper beads.

Not sure what you want to adjust. Are some of the beads too tight? If so they will probably loosen up as you use it. Or you will get used to it. Roughness along the path?

I haven't unspooled the entire roll, but so far, mine has been spliced twice on the roll. That wasn't an issue for me, but you may be pressing your luck to get that long a piece with this seller, as I've seen other posts about splices on the roll.

No, it has never happened to me. However, if it ever did, I have some of the old standard type cleaning stiff rods that I could push them out. Just curious if you are attaching the cleaning patches properly? There is a particular method for using them. Check your instructions regarding proper usage.

You kind of have to make sure the beads are pushed up to the neck piece because they move around up in the top part of neck piece, but pretty much stay up there (kind of a hard question to answer). Works better than any other I have tried.

I haven't had that happen, but my husband did. He just slipped it back on and squeezed it in place. It hasn't happened since. I'd contact the seller and have them replaced if they couldn't be fixed. Good luck!

I use the same knots as I do with monofilament, I just double up on the wraps to account for the slipperiness of the braid (eg 12-14 wraps for an improved clinch knot). Never had an issue.

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helped Kevin

I brushed it with a wide toothed comb at first to be safe, but the brush worked fine as well. It just may rip out a few tangles if you're not careful. Use some detangling spray beforehand to get the knots out. :)

I am having the same problem. I can't figure out how to open the plastic covers to shorten the knot. Anyone else out there know how??

I took parachute cord and done a web weaver using the rope handle on the inside and it seemed to tighting up the drum. next if needed I will use wet rawhide to replace the rope handles and when it drys it will shrink and tighting real good.

I just checked mine and there seems to be a tiny bit of stretch. Given the price and how well they work, I would give them a whirl. Good luck.

I treated it just like threading a needle. Put it in my mouth squeezed it tight and pushed it through no problem, you could try pulling it through with thread.
