This handy-dandy tool is a must-have for any lampwork studio! It was picked up for .99 cents at a store called Marc's in Ohio. It's no bigger than a Sharpie marking pen in girth, and about the length of an electric toothbrush. It has a little fan-like propeller blade on the end. the original purpose of this little guy is for mixing cocktails. I'm thinking that it would come in pretty handy for mixing bead release! Here is a
