Hi Gail:

    I've not used rubber very much, but was pleased with the Tenax+Plus
    for the short trial I gave it - two weeks of steady wearing, pulling,
    tugging, wetting, bending, etc. and it's still very tight.. 

    But, you mention in your posting that all adhesives eventually fail
    with rubber. If you have used rubber for a long time, how long would
    you say it takes before the adhesive fails?  Several years or longer?

    I plan to use 4 mm rubber cord for a single bead pendant - not heavy.
    I love the feel of the rubber and love the contemporary look. Would
    appreciate your input if you used lots of rubber in your work.
    Thanks. 

Kay
