Trim but don't use scissors. Peel away the glass with another cold rod. Also, if you place the flame in the crease between the tube and the top of your pendant, you will be able to tear way more.

I would recommend also using a larger size mandrel. Because of the heat required, you WILL burn thru a thin one. Double dip too - or use a bead release that can hold up. I use Fusion Bead Release.
