Getting bead release out of Hollow beads
How do you get the bead release out of your hollow beads? Is there a trick to it?

Canned air will shoot it right out. It's also great for drying the inside of the bead.

Or, if you ever used a knife blade to jimmy coins out of your piggy bank when you were a kid, you can use the same technique and use a needle or pin to jimmy dried bead release out of hollow beads. I use a tapered bead reamer and it works pretty well.

I use a pressured plant sprayer. The type where you pump it manually a few times to increase the water pressure. Gets all the bits out and cleans the inside of the bead. Same idea as a waterpik.

Another method is to smush the bead release into small pieces poking around with a mandrel, fill the bead with water and blow it out like an egg. Jeri

Cheap white vinegar dissolves bead release, if you have any remaining that is stuck or if it looks scummy.
