I dipped mandrels last night and used my brand new Diet Pepsi frit tray/bead release holder. I used an awl and tapped it with a hammer to get the mandrel dents. The awl wanted to slip off, and I think my dents probably could have been deeper, but it worked just fine. If you let the bead release "mound up" without spilling over, I don't think you would even need the mandrel dents. I had been using a plastic lid that came on a can of dog food and it had started to split. The drink can tray is definitely better and with the way I drink Diet Pepsi, I have an unending supply!
