No matter how long it's left, it will eventually shrink
to the point where one clip won't do the job. What I did
(the second time I replaced the beading) was keep a small piece
that had been cut off. When the beading shrunk so much that
the clip no longer bridged the gap, I stuck the piece in the
gap and secured it with 2 clips (one on each end of the short
(1"-1 1/2") piece). Nearly unnoticeable and LOTS cheaper and
easier than replacing the whole thing.
