How to fix a too-small bead hole
by Jean Campbell, contributing editor to Beading Daily

Bead Reamer
This hand tool comes with a selection of tapered, diamond-coated tips to accommodate different-size bead holes. They work well for enlarging and smoothing the holes in gemstone, shell, pearl, and glass beads. To use one, hold your bead in one hand and the reamer in the other hand. Working under water (a pan full of water or under the tap works), use the pointed tip to sand through the bead hole, first from one side of the bead, then from the other to keep the hole even. Bead reamers also come in electric versions, which go quite a bit faster. The increased friction will heat up your bead, so hold it under water (the bead, not the electric reamer, for heaven’s sakes!) with a cushioned tweezers to avoid burning your fingers. Note: Water is very important to the success of bead reaming: It not only makes the process go faster, it helps keep your tool sharp.
