best bead release?

[Kaz]

I use fusion and since I stopped letting it get really hot (as in glowing mandrel) I don't have many problems. I even make my large focal hearts with it and so far, even though they take nearly 45 mins I haven't had an issue. Sometimes if I've used a press on the same bead more than a couple of times it will crumble off but other than that fine.
Now this is probably tempting fate but I have yet to have a bead that I can't remove from the mandrel either.

Wot she said - never used anything else and love it!
