You heat the clear/ transparent rod to very melty and swipe it down the other rod (warmed first) then keep it barely warm while melting another load to swipe down other side, then warm whole thing and pinch together the gaps with tweezers. then warm and pull like a stringer.. Clear? As mud I expect, I should leave it to the experts, but I have just done some of these today ;D

is it just me or does anyone else reach for the diddys when you start to watch one of these DVDs to try to take the glare off, then have a DOH! moment when you realise of course it won't work!

Thats a great tut by the way... thanks jo!
