Getting bead release out of Hollow beads
How do you get the bead release out of your hollow beads? Is there a trick to it?:confused:
|
Canned air will shoot it right out. It's also great for drying the inside of the bead.
|
O yeah! Never thought of that! thanks!
|
Or, if you ever used a knife blade to jimmy coins out of your piggy bank when you were a kid, you can use the same technique and use a needle or pin to jimmy dried bead release out of hollow beads. I use a tapered bead reamer and it works pretty well.

Waterpik
|
I use a pressured plant sprayer. The type where you pump it manually a few times to increase the water pressure. Gets all the bits out and cleans the inside of the bead. Same idea as a waterpik.
|
thanks for the tips!
|
Another method is to smush the bead release into small pieces poking around with a mandrel, fill the bead with water and blow it out like an egg. Jeri

Waterpik

Syringe, both directions :D
|
Cheap white vinegar dissolves bead release, if you have any remaining that is stuck or if it looks scummy.
|
I use a baby nose aspirator/ear wax type bulb syringe, works well
