Prumihimo in lockdown! Without access to help with filming and editing this video is filmed in one take by me. The quality is not as good as other videos, but I hope you will enjoy the chatty, more informal style. This format gives me the opportunity to share the techniques and tricks I have learnt in over a decade of braiding. Sometimes it is the simple tips that make all the difference!

In the last year I switched from E6000 to 2-part epoxy for affixing clasps to braids. I find they hold much better and I too like that they fill the gaps. I only use E-6000 for the rare times I use the wired method.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve been using a small tube of the E6000. It was a month or so after I used it the first time, when I went to use it again, that I found the glue had kind of dried in the tube and came out in globs that wouldn’t spread. I had to throw it away. I have several more small tubes that came with kits and a large tube I bought, but I’m kind of nervous about using them if they’re only going to be good for one use each, especially the big tube. That could get quite expensive.
I am asked about glue more times than I could possibly count, so here is my full answer! These are my personal recommendations, but glue is a matter of personal preference, so if you have a favourite I have not mentioned please tell us about it here in the comments.
