Stuck beads
I guess my last lampwork night was a total loss. None of the beads will come off the mandrels. I think the bead release I was using was too thin. Too bad, because I really liked a couple of the beads. Maybe I'll photograph them before destroying them... I really need the mandrels. Very sad.
No more torching for a few days, as I'll be out of town at a conference. But I'll be back Monday and Tuesday, working hard to prepare for the TV show!

Susan,
If the Fusion bead release was the problem, just leave the jar open for a while until the bead release does not drip off the end when you dip the rod. I was having similar trouble and I had to leave the jar open for a few weeks. It seems to be OK now. It tends to get too thick after a while, which is why I had to thin it in the first place.
