Hi Kimberly
Thanks for the directions. Well making stringer from chucks made a world of difference. I started back at the torch after I read your first answer. I did it a little different. (well of course I did since I am a little different to begin with
) With my pliers I started to heat up my smallest piece (about the size of a walnut~ were you channalling) and at the sametime the end of my stringer making mandrel. When hot enough I stuck the two together. Melted abit and shaped in to a retangle box. Then followed your instrution not to encase to thickly. One thing it did do is after I placed down a strip of clear I heated the clear and pushed it flatter. Then I heated and pulled stringer with my pliers. WOW WOW AND WOW what a world of differnce. I then made 2 sample beads and played with my stringer. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!***************
Thank you so much. I was absolutely beside myself trying to figure out what I did wrong and how to get it to work.
So Kimberly when you writting that book???? What book? the one you are going to retire on. Did I happen to say you are the best.
