Default Bead release recipe

Hello
This is my first post in this forum...
I used a bead release recipe I found in lampworketc. but it failed when I tried it yesterday. The release was shattered when put in the flame and the hot glass would not stick to the mandrel. Any ideas?
Here is the recipe posted by member : EaglesLegathy

5 spoons aluminum oxide or hydroxide
5 spoons Kaoline
1 spoon calcium carbonate
1 teaspoon graphite (powder)

I would also appreciate any other tried recipes because I can't import bead release directly to Egypt. Any liquid or dry materials are subject to chemical tests and inspection.
