	BG		Puffy Hollow Mandrel Tutorial
	Can be made on all size mandrels
	Puffy Hollow Mandrels are used to blow hollow beads and also shards. Of course, you can also use them for either large hole beads or blown vessels. On these mandrels the small hole on one side allows you to form the bead around the hole by creating regular wall discs on either side of the hole, as you would have done in the usual fashion..Here's a MINI TUTORIAL.........................................1) When the symmetrical disks are formed on the predipped mandrel (see d'ions below for dipping), bring their edges together using a graphite paddle, making sure to patch over any 'holes' that may be in the glass..2) Heat the bead so it has a plasticity,then blow thorough the cool end of the mandrel very gently. Remember! just short/little puffs to form the shape..3) Whilst holding a finger over the hole of the undipped end.. rotate the formed bead slowly to keep balanced,the bead will shrink slightly..4) Return the bead to the flame and just heat gently,keeping the heat consistently even all over..5) Whilst keeping the bead and mandrel level,turning at the same time place the undipped end in your mouth, blocking the tube with your lip/tongue to prevent the bead collapsing and in readness to puff into the tube again..6) Whilst the end is still covered turn slowly to heat until glowing, now puff gently and if hot enough, the bead will start to inflate..7)Repeat the process keeping the end covered, and puffing the glowing bead to expand some more..8)Once the bead has reached the best size, let it cool whilst evenly balancing and rotating. 9)Anneal ......................................... Dipping Method:to dip the end of the Puffy Mandrel that has the side hole,dip the mandrel in the bead release well past the side hole, just as you would a regular mandrel. Place your finger over the dipped end of the mandrel and gently blow through the other end to clear out the bead release from the side blow hole in the hollow mandrel... leaving the dipped end of the mandrel tube plugged wth. the wet release,so that the dipped end is sealed. Allow to dry out very thorougly overnight before use. Make sure to clean out well after with use of 1.6mm mandrel from the inside To create SHARDS: Blow the walls 'super' thin and then you can break up the bead to use as shards. Using any of the Double Helix glass (see listed under Double Helix) makes enchanting colour shards. Another method is to uniformly blow the glass thin and then pop it by blowing in extra air.

	B.G.		TUTORIAL on USING A HOLLOW MANDREL TO BLOW SHARDS
	Shards :How To make
	Blowing shards is tricky. Make sure all the glass is the same temperature. First blow is very gentle to make sure the hole either on the end of the mandrel or a holey mandrel is not covered or there are gaps. Reheat everything and gently puff with the end of the mandrel up in the air. Make sure you keep turning as you puff. You can puff again or reheat and puff.This is an excellent You Tube video from Brad Pearson demonstrating how to use our Hollow Mandrels and How to Blow Shards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulWiCOP3ygs .....Also another excellent tutorial by Jennifer Geldard on You Tube 'Blowing Silvered Ivory Shards' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11s1H6pI8GA

The larger size cabochon mandrels not only make large cabochons, but also can be used like a painter's palette to make one or more irregular pieces at a time across its face. TUTORIAL FOR DIPPING: Dip the mandrel inside the bead release container and spin or tap inside the container to remove excess release with a smooth layered application left on the mandrel. A kitchen spoonful of release can also be used for this process, then use the back of the spoon to spread the release evenly on the cab. It is best to air dry these mandrels rather than flame drying to prevent the release from cracking, then slowly heat in the flame as well as the front where the glass is to be applied, making certain you have the mandrel hot enough for the glass to stick. If you don't have the glass adhered to the mandrel it may come off if you turn it upside down. Keep adding glass, while pushing. Be careful not to pull your glass away from the cabochon. If you want to remove the rod, then use the heat to cut the glass, never pull. Anneal in the usual way. The cab can be removed by twisting and lifting.You tube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzlXFYIKatU ANOTHER : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ZlRGeOA4w
