    I have had the same trouble with both Beadalon and Softflex. I
    solved it by using a crimp, then a regular bead or two, then a second
    crimp. The line runs all the way back through both crimps. This has
    worked for me so far, with no crimps coming out. I had tried using
    two crimps side by side at the ends, but that came out sometimes
    also. I have not tried epoxy - hadn't thought about that, but wonder
    how it would interact with the Beadalon or Softflex? Would it
    deteriorate them over time? Don't know if it would, but wonder. 

    I look forward to hearing other solutions!
