    The rod is coated with a substance called “bead release”, it allows the bead to be pulled off or soaked off with water.

    before you start you coat the rod with bead release (it’s kind of like liquid clay) and when the bead is finished it just slides off (after annealing and cooling)

    I really appreciate the angle of the camera. It really gives a clear perspective of where the bead should be, when people say “hold your bead under the flame” and you are totally clueless what that means. thanx.

    Tighten your glasses so they don’t slide down your nose. You’re looking over the top of them and affords no protection for your eyes. Would have loved to have seen a better photo of your bead. The combination sounds lovely.

    I think that you will find that it is stainless steel rod called a mandrel. It has a powdery type coating called ‘bead release’ so that you can crack the bead release and the bead will ‘release’ from the mandrel. Without this the bead would stick to the rod permanently.

    eyes better. Keep up the nice work!
