I don't know if you could get enough heat in there to get a big bead off, Susan.
Anything with a small footprint is good. Once you're done the bead, heat the mandrel to red hot on either side until you can get the bead off by jiggling it back and forth to get it moving. I like to use hot fingers to pull it off. I think Beau used a punty on his but I can't recall specifically - I'd have to check my notes. Once you've heated the mandrel to red hot on either side, the bead should slide off. Fire polish your hole and throw it in the kiln.
