mandrels
hi, finally got around to using the specialty mandrels for internal bails..i used the bead release i bought with it...coated it twice letting it dry between each application but couldn't get it out of the glass....any suggestions? thanks. |

Re: mandrels
once the glass is cool you throw the thing in a bucket of water. Let it soak a few mins. Hold the mandrel with a pair of pliers and then spin the 'bead' around the mandrel.... it might be tight at first but keep working it and it will slide off. Nan |

Re: mandrels
thanks for the info...i also heard that toothpicks work well and since i'm just starting to do some work with internal bails again i think i'll try both...now if i could just get the glass to drill itself i'd be set....thanks again |

Re: mandrels
The only thing with toothpicks is their diameter is pretty small. OK if you're stringing but if you want a chain to go thru maybe not so good. Best, Nan |

Re: mandrels
i've always used thick fiber paper/blanket/rope except for the one shot w/the mandrel so haven't had a problem with the bail diameter but that's a good thing to keep in my mind...thanks eileen |
