ss ufos caught in bead, help please!
I was helping out my mom and thought I'd put her pandora necklace in my tumbler. To do an even better job, I took all of the beads off so they could get nice and shiny on all sides. The dang little ufo shapes are caught in some of the beads (silver ones). I got some loose by pounding (not too patient) but was hoping someone might have done the same at some point and figured out a better way to get them out. Thanks, Judy

I usually take a 3/32 mandrel and push each of them out. I think uttering curse words helps. I've never had them get really jammed in though.

no luck
Thanks Rose. Nothing seems to work. Some of the beads have two in them sometimes. I have tried pounding them out and doing a lot of cursing. I now have them in the tumbler WITHOUT any shot, just liquid in hopes of jarring them loose.

Drill them out with a Dremel or similar tool.

Take a look at them and try to determine which direction they entered and got jammed. Then push them out the other way.
