Good video, full of great suggestions for plugged holes. I guess the one thing that I try to do while beading is to make sure I check my bead holes as I go--it sure saves me from saying a lot of bad words in the end. Thanks, Allie, for another better beader episode.

I save the 2 holed beads with 1 hole clogged and use it as a stop bead. I have a few broken super duos that are broken with 1 hole that I use as a stop bead too.

Great use for them, Mary! 😃

I was trying to restring a bracelet and I got the knot from my stretch cord stuck in the focal. I need all the help I can get I’m about to cry

[@danamiller2083]

Can you soak clogged bead holes (with thick thread) in vinegar or something maybe a litter chemically stronger to perhaps break down whatever is blocking the bead hole and if so what do you recommend?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hi Dana, please refer to this video: www.potomacbeads.com/how-to-unclog-bead-holes

My quartz bead bracelet broke. Found out one of the beads had a melted plastic or something in it, definitely the last bead added. Was gonna burn it to get the glue or whatever in it but turns out that will make it EXPLODE. Glad I looked it up first.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank goodness you did. I am sorry that it broke

[@sandymakesplans]

maybe hot boiling water? before it reaches boiling?

[@lenard8087]

What if my bead reamer tip gets busted off in the bead??

[@Potomacbeadco]

You will probably have to get rid of the bead but you could file the tip of the reamer back to a point

Allie, I love you to pieces, but I can't hear you. The music is always at a perfect level of sound, then when you start talking, I hear your voice but can't tell you one word your saying. Can you please start placing a mic closer to you?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hi Lorraine, I've checked the entire video and there's nothing wrong with the sound. Perhaps one of your audio channels has dropped out?

[@sandymakesplans]

i have a piece of metal stuck in a real pearl and my heart is broken

[@Potomacbeadco]

I hope this video was able to help you! Thank you for watching!

I have a whole bunch of Mardi Gras these that I tried to take off the string, but the rest is stuck inside and I can’t get it out
