How it is used:
- Use it as a step-by-step guide for planning your gather size before pressing so the bead fills the cavity cleanly without excessive flashing.
- Use it to improve press technique so the bead releases cleanly from the tool and comes out symmetrical with minimal cold-working.
- Use it as a reference for understanding how different press shapes behave so you can choose a shape that matches your bead design and decoration plan.
- Use the back-cover reference to compare pre-press and finished bead shapes when dialing in your starting glass amount and heat.
