But without the pipe cleaners there is not anything small enough in the tumbler mix to get inside the holes to work against the bead release.

Sorry, that doesn't make sense. 1000 grit abrasive is quite small, like sand. I'm sure it will go through the holes. I just wondered if I'm wasting my time cleaning them first.
I guess I'll have to toss one in un-cleaned to see.
