Best crimp end for a 2 mm round leather cord? I have never done anything on leather before so need some advice please. I read you should get a crimp end with teeth in it but I can’t find any. Also, flat fold over, round where you crimp the middle section, round where you crimp the whole tube, which glue, and advice please on whatever else. Thanks so much!
 
I'm no expert, but I think you need a tube style crimp end, to fit over the end of the leather. Did you check Fire Mountain?
 
It's been years but I also used tube style crimps for leather cord. The tube has to be just a smidge larger than the cord-- it has to fit inside the tube. I seem to recall I used a bit of glue on the leather, before inserting it into the tube and crimping the tube.

Perhaps there is a how-to video on Fire Mountain Gems website or on You Tube.
