OK, encase first, hadn't thought of that, and spread clear blob with a tool.
Very helpful tips, thank you all! and Kerry, cool stringer! Off to the studio!
Incidentally, I've been "nipping" my stamen cane with wet needle nose pliers. The chill break leaves about 1/16" to 1/8" of cane above the bead, with a nice square end. Easier for me because the pliers are always right there, and they're smaller and easier to manipulate than my nippers. I can also nibble down the bit extending by reapplying the wet pliers.
