Glue!!!

I've had lots of problems with the micro nuts & bolts that connect parts of my jewelley and the fact that they keep coming apart. Todays experiment was using plumbers tape, worked but the end of the screw is white! Not a good look. Superglue in a pot, using a cocktail stick as a dropper. Looked awful... Think I've now solved the problem with model makers cement, but its really smelly and solvent based.
Super glue on the left, looks really awful, plumbers tape on the bottom right and top right magic cement!
Work in progress, had to take this apart quite a few times....slowly getting there!
Weaving with fluro acrylic rods, expensive though!
Another pic of two rows of acrylic weaving
It bends nicely, but I'm not sure of the breakage point as yet
