i found them very difficult to adapt to at first as well. i definitely found that using 12" mandrels was better for me and that tubing is much lighter than solid. As for getting the beads even - that just takes practice. it's all about getting an even footprint. The glass just doesn't balance itself like it does with smaller diameter mandrels.
