LOC used a simple and effective method:

Tie a loop in the nylon shock cord . . . a circle maybe 2" wide.

Mix up a batch of epoxy.

Lay the body tube flat.

Use a tongue depressor taped to a dowel as a spoon to transfer a nice pool of epoxy down the inside of the body tube a ways. Smear it around a little.

Lay the loop of cord right in the pool of epoxy. Use a dowel with waxed paper wrapped around it to press it firmly against the body tube. Pour on a little more epoxy so the cord is encased.

Let dry, keeping the model horizontal.
