thank you, Lynne 
thank you also for the advice about getting the thimble off if it does stick. |
My last one the bead release was already cracked before I even started and it held together for the entire thimble after I got it red hot but I'm also certain that the cracks were why I had to use the drumming trick to get it to release! I wrecked a couple of thimbles before Linda posted the trick about getting the release red hot!
