How big is too big?
Get yer mind out of the gutter, I'm not talking about toys!
I was given a 7mm CZ...is that too big to use in a bead?

For a minute there I thought I was in the bedroom. LOL
Most people I know use 1.5 - 2 -2.5 mm. I was told larger will crack, but I'm not 100% sure if thats true.

My best luck has been with 2mm czs. Haven't lost a bead yet in using that size. I believe Rio Grande has a deal that you can purchase 100 small czs for around $10.
*Some* people claim you have to use special CZs but I have to argue with that. Plain ol' plain ol' works fine. At least on my hot head.
