What's the best way to clean beadholes?
I bought the dremel diamond bit, but can't get the drillholes completely clean.
Just wondered, what's the best way to get all the bead release out??? What methods/techniques do you all use? Cause I've made some fabulous newbie beads and need to get 'em clean!
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you!

Get a Beadreamer. I LOVE mine. They are on sale right now in the sale rack
BeaDreamer sale - Buy 4, get one FREE!!! Save $29.95! I don't know if this will work or not.
OK it didn't work. But go to the sale rack and this is the thread. The beadreamers are THE best!

Spiffy bead cleaner from The Venerable Bead.....works like a hot damn.
Doesnt scratch up the bead hole (especially nice for transparent beads) and no chipping of the bead holes if you arent quite perfect on the mark with the dremel.
Best $6 I ever spent.

Beadreamer...
...I bought these, unfortunately don't have the right size collet to use them & haven't made a special trip to Home Depot for that one purchase.
But, I've read that they're wonderful...

Here's a link to widget supply for the keyless chuck/collet for the bit (fits my Dremel cordless and works like a DREAM) http://www.widgetsupply.com/page/WS/...-keyless-chuck
Tink posted a bunch of great tools from widget supply in this thread. http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=53308
I'll second the sentiment that Widget supply rocked, their shipping was fast and everything's great.
