I've had the best results with slowly twisting them while applying them either to the inside of tubing (inside out work) -OR- on beads and then encasing with a super heavy coating of clear.
The only problem I've had with those multi-colored rods is that they are usually very thick in the cross-section, and working with beads gets kind of dicey at times, especially if you want to make a small(er) bead. I've had limited success at pulling them out further to thin them down.
