WOW! You guys are doing great! What an improvement!!
Bubby - about the clear - if you don't get it wrapped on evenly at first, you can add a tiny bit more to the problem area before you melt the whole thing down. Also, if it's coming out wonky and uneven, try to adjust your hand and where you hold the bead in the heat. I have a feeling that a lot of your issues are coming from your heat control. You may be holding the bead just a bit "off" even though it looks straight to you. Have someone else watch you make a bead. It helps!!
I'm so happy you guys are enjoying and using this tut!!!!! Keep it up and keep posting pics. The beads I see in here are awesome!
