I was helping out my mom and thought I'd put her pandora necklace in my tumbler. To do an even better job, I took all of the beads off so they could get nice and shiny on all sides. The dang little ufo shapes are caught in some of the beads (silver ones). I got some loose by pounding (not too patient) but was hoping someone might have done the same at some point and figured out a better way to get them out. Thanks, Judy
