Title: Hollow beads and bead poo
Post by: wendy j on May 31, 2009, 10:22:50 AM
OK,  maybe just a big trapped air bubble  ::),  but how do I get rid of the bead release that flaked off from the mandrel as it was pulled out?    Ive got the bead soaking in water at the moment shaking it every time I go past hoping that will break it down .
Hope some one know the answer,
Wendy

If it's not dissolving, can you gently poke it inside the bead with a mandrel?

Cillit Bang or Grime and Lime. Let the bead soak for a while.

I shake mine to break it up then blow through the holes.
