Let your base cool down a bit, then add a large gather of melted clear glass around center of the base....push it on in one swipe to kind of flatten it around the middle and so the sides of the gather stick out a little. Heat one edge at a time and then use a pointed graphite tool to push the gather toward the bead hole. Heat entire bead in flame to round-out. Really simple and works everytime with no seams or bubbles. Good luck! Kathleen
