Looks good, Alexander, but what thread do you use? I remember, years ago, being taught to make thread binding for broken knife handles, or the end of frayed ropes. You place a loop of the thread on the thing to be bound, and then wind one end the thread back over the loop, tucking that end of the thread in to the now small end of loop; you then pull on the other end from the loop, so that the thread is drawn in. It becomes quite a strong binding. I think this is called a whipping knot. I suppose that might work well, with a spot of cyanoacrylate to finish.
