What size seed bead to line lampwork beads?
Until now, I've been using some unpackaged seed beads that were passed along to me to line my lampwork jewelry, but I've run out and now need to purchase some - preferably online.
I use 3/32 mandrels to make my lampwork beads - what size seed bead should I order? Any recommendations on suppliers?
Thanks so much!

There is also a rubber tubing sold by beadalon 1.7mmx5m that can be cut to fit each bead.

I like the rubber tubing best.It's quicker and fits perfect. Beadsmith also makes it.
