Default Buna Cord Question

Hello all,

I did a search for "rubber cord" in the group and it looks like Buna
cord is what I need. I wanted to see and touch the stuff in person,
before ordering any online but had no luck finding any at the three
local craft stores, including Michael's. I also checked out the
hardware store. I want something that is soft and will drape nicely
when used in a lariat style necklace, but would prefer not to use
leather. I plan to use polymer beads with the cord and think the two
will go nicely together. Any pros and cons about Buna cord, or
alternatives to it would be appreciated from anyone familiar with the
product.

Thanks!

I want to know the same! I would like to know where is the best and
cheapest place to get some. Where can I find the endings in sterling silver
also?

Please help us both.

Thanks

What you want are crimp ends normally used for leather cord, - just match
the diameter of the cord to the crimp and away you go.

I posted a glass attic link regarding the buna cord.

Be careful of that particular combination, Amy. Rubber and sterling do not
mix well--it will make your silver funky.

Okay, now that I've said that, will someone please tell me it isn't my sick
brain twisting two seperate piecs of knowledge together and ending up wrong?

I believe part of the processing into rubber uses some sulphur compound.
It's the sulphur in eggs that tarnishes silverware.

Feel better soon. Rest lots. Etc. cuz we love you!

when used in a lariat style necklace,


well - it's NOT as soft as say silk cord

and it tend to "drape" in predetermined shape/arc... not like say a chain, or
cord.

also - SOMETHING to consider - some people are allergic to natural rubber...

I have been sweetie. I really have. I laid in my bed all evening, totally
forgetting to get up and take my pain pills and ended up paying for that for
the second time today. *sigh* As I'm pacing the livingroom, waiting on my
tea to steep, Dh asks me why I'm pacing. I had to tell him that I was
trying not to sob, cause it closes up my throat even more.

I repeat, being sick sucks. And tomorrow will be loads of fun--I have to
take DH to work, because I have a 15 MINUTE parent teacher conference at
12:40--and Dare gets out of school twenty minutes before hand. So, it'll be
a good oppty to get the kids some shoes, cause Dare has outgrown his and
Tyler doesn't own anything but sandals ATM.

After I pick DH up from work, I'll get to rest some more. Then Dare is off
school Friday, and Friday night will begin my three day marathon of doing
absolutely nothing!
