Great advice here. I too use the glass pick method. I use the commercial clear stringers, heat the end and pull it out thin. To make a really sharp pick break the tip rather than flame cutting it. Now focus the heat just at the surface without letting it go deep into the bead. Like others said too, you can do a little at a time if needed. If you keep your rake really shallow right at the surface you shouldn't have that deep furrow at the end. Good luck!
