Hello there, I hope I'm not asking an obvious question but which die do I need for troll bead size.
I will be getting a second hand retro bead liner but with no dies and I havent a clue which ones I should get. I think two sets of dies will be all I can afford at the mo.
If it helps me decide and you peeps to suggest. I see myself doing troll size beads and maybe a little bigger.

Hi Denise,
There was a thread a while back about the measurements of Troll and Pandora bracelets. Here's the link:

I do not know which die you need though, but I hope you will be able to work it out from the measurements of the Troll bracelet.

Hi Denise
I have a retro tool bead liner from retroglasstools - the piece i use is 3/16". I had trouble at first with the silver as the wall was too thick on the first piece I bought. I got in touch with Gerry from retroglass tools and he advised me to buy the silver from metalliferous.com - these are the silver dimensions he gave me - (4.8mm/.190 O.Dia .381mm/ .015 Wall).
I make my beads to fit Pandora bracelets and the diameter is a little larger than troll - I usually have to file out the centres a little to make them fit the Pandora bracelet, but I would think you wouldn't need to do that for Troll bracelets.
Hope that helps...
