CG Beadrollers - have you tried one?

SallyR · March 29, 2010, 12:52:57 PM

Just wondered if anyone could recommend (or otherwise) the graphite beadrollers from www.cgbeads.com - I was specifically looking at the round one, but any thoughts gratefully received.

Frit N Glas seem to be the European distributor so I thought I'd do my homework before I get to the Flame Off and the red mist of impulse buying descends ...

Thank you!

Sally

I love mine Sally, I have 8 I think, the round one is great, I would definately recommend them.

I love mine too, I have round, disk and ovals and they are all easy to use.

I have round too. Love it!

I have the round spacer and the disc spacer. I love them both and would buy them all if I could afford more!

Thanks for your replies - fairly conclusive so far, then

I had a go with mum's yesterday and quickly succeeded in getting some good discs. I am waiting till my next payday and will be getting a classic quad as it was great.

I have 2 and they are amazing. My favourite tool EVER - and makes getting consistent sizes a breeze.

I've got 4 and they're great for making consistently sized beads (I got mine because I was having a hard job taming my BHB's! they were turning into monsters

) The only thing I would say is that you have to be very careful not to smear any decoration - heat & press and repeat!

I love mine - but be careful they break very easily! I dropped mine and it split in two - still works OK though, even with the gaffer tape all round the outside!

I was dithering - but I'm now convinced

Now which one(s) do I go for

. See what I mean about dithering

I've got the one with several styles in it - a disk, a round, an oval, and a barrel - I thought that was a good "all rounder" to try for the first time.

Charli · March 31, 2010, 10:21:17 AM

I'd really really like one, but the bank balance so far says no!
