Love this tutorial and thank you. My question: you say that once EZ960 has been "heat dried" it is very flexible. I see in the video that the shape for the bead is "heat dried" before rolling into a bead. Can you please explain what you mean by heat dried? Do I place it on a cup warmer to heat dry it? and then, I understand that oonce the metal is heat dried, I must flex it a bit, and then begin to roll...is this correct? Can you just explain the heat dried part a bit so I know what you mean, and how hot heat dry is. Thank you so much. I am now going to purchase another of your tutorials.
Hi Helga, I think Cindy will give you more info on this, but basically, there are a few ways to heat dry. It doesn't take much heat. You can leave your piece on a candle warmer or other low heat devices to dry. You just want to make sure it is thoroughly dried to the touch.
