I have noticed that the shorter time I soak the beads the easier it is to get them off the mandrels. The reason I soak the beads at all is to prevent dry bead release from flying into the air and into my lungs. For years I soaked my beads for an hour or two and it never occurred to me soaking them for so long was making it hard to remove the beads. Now that I live on Kauai, if I soak my beads the mandrels rust and the happy by-product of trying trying to prevent the rust is that I discovered that the shorter soaking makes for easier removal.
