cheeler Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 You might try putting a drop on the back of the bead and letting it flow down the bead and in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I put a drop on the bead and pull it in with the whip. Or, I wet a bit of the thread just before whipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
