My favorite combo of bead release is 1/2 and 1/2 Fusion and Foster Fire. Foster Fire lets you get the beads off the mandrel easily and the Fusion helps keep the release from breaking while working.

Lara -

Thanks for your info! When you say that the streaky/stripey ones "lose their color" - what do you mean? They are no longer streaky/stripey or they look like mud?
