I think you're not supposed to use anything that is mekabel tumaa. I never heard of this before DH told me, being a girl I was never much interested in the halachot of tzitzis.

if you put crazy glue on the strings- at the part where you want to cut, then when it dries, I think it should be easy to bite off with your teeth...something like that..dh used to do this, could be I'm saying it wrong but I dont think so
