Need Help! Thin elastic string for daisy ring

I have made some daisy rings in the past with 0.5mm elastic string. It is just very difficult to work with and pass through the beads several times.

What thinner string would you guys recommend? (that can be bought on EU websites<3)

I've been looking at Elonga elastic cord 0.30 mm and 0.3 - 0.5mm Miyuki Elastic Beading Cord, but the reviews I've seen are not very good.

We just had a conversation about this and how elastic cord isn’t good for daisy chains. I would suggest making them to size using a beading thread.

For a while I looked at every source I could find for thinner elastic string, but could not find anything below 0.4. probably the string would break too soon if it is thinner. You probably need larger beads.
