I soak my beads on the mandrel in a tall glass for however long it takes me to get to them.
I use a pair of crimping pliers to hold the mandrel and a paper towel to twist.
Beads go in a glass bowl of water until I get to them lol.
I use the dremel on wet beads but I don't hold them underwater when I clean them.
They go into a clean bowl of water, once they are all cleaned they get rinsed, dried and listed.

My mandrels go back in the cup of water and once I am done, I take a scrubby sponge to them under the running faucet.

I use a mix of devardi's bead release and Frantz's bead release mixed together. No particular ratio but roughly half and half.
