Risky as in reheating the bead after it cools down and removing it from a mandrel while it is still hot? It doesn't make sense. Why would anyone want to go through that trouble? I assume these beads have been cooled on these mandrels in the kiln. Why heat anything up again? Cold bead + mandrel re-heated in the flame = crack! Hell, I do that to get stuck-on beads off! lol!

I guess I will just have to go to the Arrow Springs site to see what these mandrels are supposed to be used for. Tungsten would be a little expensive too, I suppose.
