Bead cap mandrels

[mel]

Sorry gals and guys, me again! but has anyone heard of, or used bead cap mandrels. They are made by Zoosiis, and apparently you can make glass bead caps, but I'm thinking could also make some flowery blue bell type things, but would be fascinated if some one has a piccie of a glass bead cap. I thought bead caps were supposed to stop your nice beadies from chipping and scratching each other, hence they are usually  made of metal. I'm intrigued, that's all.

I've got a cone mandrel - wish I could show you a picture, but I have yet to manage to use it properly

I got a couple of different sizes of them as well for an idea I had, but still can't get them to look good. Plus if you don't get their special cleaning tool (I didn't) they are really difficult to get the bead release out of.
