I did apply some heat to the encasement after I put it on there so that it wouldn't pop off before I could take a picture of it! Looking at the bead I can see a little ripple where I started and stopped. To get a nice even coat from start to finish does take practice and I don't think it's critical to the success of the bead. As long as it's not hugely drastic i.e. a huge bulge on one side with a thin trail on the other. Small inconsistencies can be evened out with heat. Glass flows and as long as it doesn't have to flow too much too far, you'll be fine!
