I used to string the cleaned beads on 1/16th mandrels that I suspended between little blocks of kiln brick. Didn't have the beads touching each other. I only did it once or twice, but it worked fine.

Try putting your beads in glowing, but hold onto the mandrel and keep the bead suspended in mid-air for one minute. It'll seem like forever, but that one minute will allow your bead to firm up...

Another thing that I do is to use vise grips adjusted to firmly grip/lock on the mandrel. I place the grips very close to the bead, grasp the bead firmly, and get it to just start moving. The vise...

Janet, I don't use a lot of either frit or enamel, but the short answer is that enamel is much more saturated with color than frit. You can achieve a 'painterly' effect with enamels that can't really...
