I've been asked for some Sunbaked beads to fit a Pandora bracelet.  I won't be coring them.  I currently use a 3.2mm mandrel and I know the beads won't fit a Pandora bracelet - does anybody know if using a 4mm mandrel will work?

If nobody knows for sure, is there anybody with a genuine Pandora bracelet that would try them for me if I make them?

Yes, 4mm is fine, I do uncored "pandora's" for a customer and its a nice snug fit. I have a pandora bracelet I can lend you to check as if the bead release is slightly thinner they can be a bit too snug.

Thanks for that Helen ... I'm gonna PM you about the bracelet  ;)

I used a 4mm mandrel and cored it, fit my friends pandora perfect.

I did my first pandora size yesterday. I double dipped a 4mm with fusion, did a little bit of work with my dremel and cored with 5mm tube
