Who uses which silver-lining tool?

[debcanuck]

I've read a lot of the posts about lining beads with silver tubing, and my sense is that those who do it have bought the Jim Moore tool.

However, I'm curious to know who uses the Retro Glass Tools tool and what you think of it.

I remain torn between the two.

Comments?

Hi Deb,
I have the Retro beadliner and have no trouble with it at all. Maybe the women who had difficulty turning the wheel were using tubing with thick walls. If you use thinner walled tubing you don't have to turn it that hard at all. If you use thick walled tubing you need to anneal it first.
