I have a three size pillow-shaped press from Beadpress. I've used it once before but want to get to grips with it a bit better. What shape should I lay down before pressing?  Is it poss to fill the corners, or am I expecting too much? Any tips much appreciated.

Thanks

I make a barrel for this press. I start with a small spacer and then a second spacer at the other end of the size of pillow. Press and add more glass as required. Make sure you check the hole ends for little lines. And heat them out if needed. If you have added too much glass use your tweezers to remove little bits where required. Hope this helps. Smiley
