I had a couple of truly stuck beads and no flat diet coke around so I tried soaking them in cillit bang - easy peasy to slide them off afterwards :)
Thank you for that tip - yesterday I got my first ever really really stuck bead that I actually want to keep. I'll try it tomorrow.
Ooo, good to know. I've had some I ended up breaking cos they were so hard to get off. ;D
Ciilit Bang is a miracle chemical.
You can use it to remove stuck beads, remove the dark grey "scum" on turquoise glass and I use it to pickle silver with. It's absolutely fantastic.
However since the bloke on the advert stopped SHOUTING they've changed the formulation a little ??? and it's actually not as effective as it was. Don't get the one with bleach in as that doesn't work.

I was going to ask which one - aren't there about three?
ooo- I have some abandoned in the window, been there for months, thanks for tip (and about the silver pickle) will give that a try. This place is so handy for tips!
(I reckon the cilit bang man used it once in his ears, that's why he shouts - BANG! AND MY EARDRUMS HAVE GONE!)
Ohhh gawd, How sad am I??
Yes, there's a website, and the product you want is the one at the bottom. GRIME AND LIME, of course:

And check out this from the FAQ section, lol:
Q: Is Barry Scott real?
A: Barry is a fictional character created to demonstrate the benefits of the Cillit Bang range.
WHAAAAATTTT? My life is over. :o :'(
*cackles*

Great tip Sal.....I hope the news of Barry's sudden non-existence is not too much for you to bear. We are all here for you, you know. :P

Thanks for the link....I was about to ask " what the heck is Cillit Bang"? I wonder if there is an Ozzie equivalent? :D
Cillit bang is Actually time machine fuel, so anyone experiencing problems with sourcing CB, just pop along to your local Time machine shop they will definitely have some in stock.
Aaah HB. I wondered how long before you couldn't resist the lure of FHF..... Nice to see you back here too ;)
