A q-tip for beadrollers

Carols Glass · #1 2010-09-04, 10:26am

This is just a tip, whether repeating it or not, because it helps me so much (as I use the beadrollers every single torch session). I want to help others

Use a Q-tip or other cotton swab to clean out all of the insides of whatever beadroller you will be using. Sometimes bead release gets in them during use and it is so great to have one handy so you don't have to try to blow it out or bang the beadroller on the table, etc. etc.

There, I feel better now.

I posted this in a sale thread but felt it might get missed there.

Never thought of this, thank you! Banging it on the table makes me nervous but sometimes I have to if I can't reach the inside of the depression with my finger. The q-tip will be much better!

Yes, and sometimes the beadroller gets pretty hot after using it a while and your finger is not too happy with that!

Also, with crevices like the disks my fingers are too fat to clean those out. I would keep my beadrollers stored upside down but then, when I need one I can't tell which one it is that way. Right side up, there is bound to be some dust in there and you don't want to find that out when you make your first bead
