They might have been damp.
I just checked the ones I dipped yesterday and they all have hairline cracks on them.
Not a one is smooth.
The mandrels I used yesterday had a bunch of cracking and flaking once I started to add the glass. I lost a few before I could even start. The two that where almost finished I was able to finish them. Took everything out of the kiln this morning and so far so good.
I guess I will have to remove all the bead release from them all and rough them, wash them and let them dry overnight. I will add a bit of water to the release I have left in the jar.
I am almost out of release, so need to order more. I saw where Diane suggested Alice's and I ordered some of that, but since I have been using the Mud was going to reorder, now a bit unsure.
It is very humid where I am at. I live in Florida and humidity is an all the time thing. (well once in a while we get dry air, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Thank you for the replies
