Hi
sorry to ask so many questions but how do I get the lumps out of my bead release??
thank you Carol
Hiya
Try adding a couple of wonky beads to the pot and then give it a whacking great shake (make sure the lid is on). That normally does the trick.

The most important advice ever! ::) ::)
Cappucino whisk :)
Done the lid off shake too. Not to be recommended. By the way, anyone know where I can get Fosterfire?
Hi Geraldine
I have an order of Foster Fire on the way from the US; not sure how long this is going to take to arrive. I have different size pots coming.
Caroline
That's great news Caroline, I'll be buying once it arrives.
I have 8 oz and 16 oz jars on the way; hopefully they should not take too long to arrive.

Very very tight....
and wrap a cloth round it while you shake it

As well as ading a wonky bead, add a little water to get the release back to it's original consistency. Water evaporates from the release every time you open the pot so just add some back, perhaps a teaspoon at a time until you are happy with the thickness (single cream consistency).
Funny how that lid always looks like it is on tight ......... todays task will be to wash a lot of bead release off the worktops, walls, floor; I washed me and the clothes yesterday. I've decided putting all those end of pots into one old mucky pot was possibly false economy :'(
Good idea about the cappucino whisk, I have a battery one now redundant since the fancy Nespresso machine arrived. (Still waiting for George Clooney, apparently on back order ;) )

Ah, Sue, but you'll never get him delivered - he'll be given to the burglar or kept in the depot, 'cause he won't fit in your safe bin, even if they tried!!!!!!!!! :D :D

I've paid the extra for a guaranteed timed delivery! They'll email as soon as he has desptached and I've cancelled my entire diary so I can be here, ready and waiting with the coffee machine primed, as soon as he rolls up at my door. My postie has met my husband and understands the need for this delivery. He also knows where my shedio is and can walk through an open gate to get to it :o so I have all plans in place I think.
looks like you have it all covered Sue. Hope he arrives in 1 piece!
;D
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Sue :D :D (Maybe not if I can get out to my workshop, difficult to lampwork!)

I can now vouch that bead release, when mixed with hot water, makes an even bigger mess. Won't be making that mistake again! Still, found a couple of nice beads on the shedio floor whilst I was washing it down for the umpteenth time, with a few that would best viewed from the bottom of the bead release pot. And a rod of DH that must have fallen down sometime when I wasn't looking.
Delivery driver requests an alternative delivery address if GC can't be delivered here. Any takers or shall I say 'return to sender'?
Send him up this way, Sue. I'd be happy to make him comfortable for a while ....
