please recommend me a strong bead release!

[meitali]

i am using a bead release that is not strong enough for me, it either breaks because the coat is too thin or it is too thick.

i can do small beads, but too many of the time i try something just a bit complex, like twisting dots, the bead release breaks, and i keep loosing good beads to it, and expensive gas :(

so i need a recomendation for a strong bead release, i'd rather deal with a bead that's stuck to the mandrel because the bead release is too strong (a few hours in coca cola do the work :-) ) rather than a bead that's stuck on the mandrel for good...

it has to be something that can be bought off the internet.


thanks a lot!!!!

I use Foster Fire exclusively. I regularly work larger boro beads on it no problem. Never had a problem getting beads off either. They have a formula specially for boro, but I just use the regular Foster Fire.

Here's where I get mine, but a lot of the online places carry it: http://www.lampworkingsupplies.com/products.php?cat=41&products=Lampworking%20Supplies-Fusion+Bead+Release-Foster+Fire-Foster+Fire.htm

Foster Fire for me also. I took a class last month and my instructor said that out of all she tried Foster Fire is all that she uses now.
