Please tell me where you like to shop for silver tube for coring beads? I am confused as is my normal and a bit overwhelmed. I have my press, now I need the silver. Also any suggestion on quarter inch, 1/4, mandrels? Thanks guys, I don't know why I am having such a hard time getting this damn dog and pony show on the road.
Again, thank you.

AND while I'm begging help, how about your pick for good dichroic glass? It's been so long since I've bought any, I am out of date with what's good and where to find it. Again, my thanks.

For dichroic, Kim recommends Arrow Springs. I don't do a lot of dichro but she does.

I buy my mandrels from speedymetals. I have them cut to 9", but you can buy any length you want. This company is super fast too! Here is the link to what I buy...

I get my 1/4" tubing from Rio Grande.
Sorry I can't help with the dichro!

Learning to core is overwhelming at first. But you'll be just fine. We're here for you!

Thank you Suzy! Goodies ordered and I'm putting my feet up to celebrate. I can NOT believe I just paid someone $50 bucks for 10 3/16 mandrels. Crazy. Nice to find them at such a good price, silver too. Thanks guys, what a relief to find the path. Beth
