How do I uncore a pandora bead?

The only way I have been able to do it is to use a jeweler's saw to cut through the tubing. If you can get one end raised, like the one with the split, I would saw the end off. source

How do you make a spiral bead?

I make these all the time and have never had a problem. There is an example of it, in one of my wife's Bead Unique mags. If you want I'll find the issue and maybe you could back order the issue. source

Best bead release?

I make 2-3 inch beads and Alice's bead release works really well for that. I have only lost 1 bead to cracking bead release since I switched. I soak them in water after they come out of the kiln and they slide right off the mandrel. source

Where do you find beading supplies?

I use Fire Mountain Gems, not necessarily discount. However, they have wonderful customer service and great products. source

Stainless and bead blasted barrels?

Bead blasting adds compressive stresses to the surface of material that gets blasted. In industry it is use to increase the fatigue toughness of a material or part. As for a gun barrel, I can't see it doing anything. source
