Hello, In your tourch fired enamel beads, how do you get the litttle copper
tube to be enameled to stay on the mandrel? I’d really like to know how
you do the beads. Nancy

members advice has been great
Nancy, the copper tubing needs to be the size closest to the size of the
mandrel so that it is snug but not too tight. It will stay in place when
it gets heated. Frances
