The bead release breaks off on me if I press while the bead has gotten too cool.

When you're first learning a press it does take awhile to get the hang of the perfect amount of glass. It's best to start out with a little less glass because you can always add a bit more to it to fill up the cavity.

I find that the straight sided presses are the hardest to use. The lentil, kalera and nugget from Zoozii seem to be the most forgiving.
