I made this like indestructible string, but it’s stiff, and it slips off my finger. Is there a way to keep it on? Like weaving in something else or something… ---

Make it stick to your finger? Duct tape or krazy glue I guess. ---

tape a little higher where you put the string on your finger? ---

If this is for your finger, I would say just drop it. Your finger will begin to not hurt pretty quickly if you just man up. If it’s numb though or hurts pretty bad, stop and take a break, especially if it’s bleeding. ---

Apetrunk, it sounds like the problem is that the string is just slipping off his finger. Batryn, what did you make the string out of, polyester, cotton, or nylon? Try using a different thread material. Try twisting the string loop around itself a couple of times before putting it on your finger. ---

I know… it’s just that I made this indestructible invisible string I want to use. But it’s like plasticy… it’s just a test… and it’s really thin too. Only problem is it almost falls off too much. Like it totally loosens and I’m playing 5a without a ball. ---

Oh yeah. I just missed the string part in the OP. 😛 What’s so good about this string? Could you maybe tie some regular cotton or polyester string to the end that goes around your finger? ---

If it is nylon, it may soften up by putting it in the dryer inside a brown paper bag for about 5 min. This may destroy your string but this is how Dr. Yo-Yo softened his angel hair string. ---
