How can I get the pieces of glass from glass beads out of my fingers and hands? I was hoping to find an effective way of getting the almost microscopic remnants of glass out of my fingers and hands after hand sewing one-by-one the small glass beads that are usually used for jewlrey and come in plastic as well. I wash my hands and under my nails after handling the beads but I will still see little bits sparkle in the light and often times feel tiny sharp pains in my finger tips when I touch things. Anyone know of any "special scrubbing patterns" I can use to get these annoying little boogers out?!?

I want to silver parts of glass beads using Tollens reagent.? All, I've studied the Tollens reagent process for silvering glass mirrors. Problem is that I just want to apply silver upon glass beads, I don't want to silver mirrors or the inner surfaces of flasks. Would the most effective way be to wet the surfaces I want silvered with dextrose solution, then let dry, then lower the beads into the reagent? Thanks in advance for your opinion.
I'm looking for cheap plastic and glass beads in wholesale bulk lots? I need to order beads by the thousands. A few of you have answered my previous question on the same thing but I can't reply to my own post so I'll thank you here. I called the canadian site and they said that there price is per bead. I can get smaller quantities down the road at the fabric store but they have very limited selection. At least there I can get 315, 8mm beads for less then $2. Less then a penny a bead. I just love the more professional look of the glass beads. I've been getting the clear beads and using the Krylon Plastic paint to make a few different colors but the paint is heavy in some spots and the clear bead sticks out in other spots. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanx, Jason
