How to Use:

  1. Measure your bead thickness
  2. Cut the copper tube 3.0-3.5mm (1/8") longer than your bead thickness using a jewelry saw for cleanest cuts
  3. Anneal the tube by heating with a torch, then allow to cool—this softens the copper for easier working
  4. Deburr the cut ends with a countersink drill to remove sharp edges
  5. Insert into your glass bead and use the Hasal Bead Liner to flare and finish the ends
  6. Polish for a beautiful, professional finish
Pro Tip: Annealing is essential for copper tubing! This step makes the metal soft and easy to flare, ensuring smooth, even results.
