stuck beads

[firedinglass]

I had a couple of truly stuck beads and no flat diet coke around so I tried soaking them in cillit bang - easy peasy to slide them off afterwards

[TiaraHelen]

Thank you for that tip - yesterday I got my first ever really really stuck bead that I actually want to keep. I'll try it tomorrow.

Ooo, good to know.  I've had some I ended up breaking cos they were so hard to get off.

Ciilit Bang is a miracle chemical.
You can use it to remove stuck beads, remove the dark grey "scum" on turquoise glass and I use it to pickle silver with. It's absolutely fantastic.
However since the bloke on the advert stopped SHOUTING they've changed the formulation a little    and it's actually not as effective as it was. Don't get the one with bleach in as that doesn't work.

I was going to ask which one - aren't there about three?

[Steampunkglass]

ooo- I have some abandoned in the window, been there for months, thanks for tip (and about the silver pickle) will give that a try. This place is so handy for tips!

(I reckon the cilit bang man used it once in his ears, that's why he shouts - BANG! AND MY EARDRUMS HAVE GONE!)

BANG! AND MY EARDRUMS HAVE GONE!

And check out this from the FAQ section, lol:

Q: Is Barry Scott real?
A: Barry is a fictional character created to demonstrate the benefits of the Cillit Bang range.

WHAAAAATTTT? My life is over.

Great tip Sal.....I hope the news of Barry's sudden non-existence is not too much for you to bear. We are all here for you, you know.

I wondered why Barry had stopped shouting. lol

Thanks for the link....I was about to ask " what the heck is Cillit Bang"?   I wonder if there is an Ozzie equivalent?  

[HairyBeader]

Cillit bang is Actually time machine fuel, so anyone experiencing problems with sourcing CB, just pop along to your local Time machine shop they will definitely have some in stock.
