<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 6880735, member: 36"]One idea would be to knot between the beads when you restring. It naturally makes the necklace a hair longer and it's harder for the beads to saw through. Alternately you could restring on tigertail; it's tougher. If that's legit hide glue, I think heat loosens it up. I watch a furniture restoration guy on Youtube sometimes (Thomas Johnson - talk about a real artist!) and he uses hide glue on antique pieces. If you have a heat gun you might be in luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
