To create the surface treatment, the glass is heated with a flame torch and carefully applied to a mandrel to form the bead shape. This process requires a high level of skill to ensure the bead retains its structure. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eDuring production, as the bead cools, the exterior shrinks while the interior remains hot and expanded, which can cause cracking. To prevent this, beads are annealed in a kiln where the temperature is slowly reduced, making the final product stronger and more resistant to breaking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222222; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eIndian glass beads often arrive with a dusty white or grey coating. This material is called \"kiln wash\" or \"slip,\" which is used to help the bead release from the wire during production. You can easily remove it by rinsing the beads with tepid water or wiping them with a cloth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e1990s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eShape: Barrel \u003cbr\u003eSize: 12x9mm with large hole\u003cbr\u003eColour: Teal Transparent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePack of 2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bcat-list\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bead Vault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53091262529825,"sku":"IGSQPU","price":3.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0755\/8846\/9025\/files\/indianglassbeadovalturquoiseandavneturinestripe.jpg?v=1785275957","url":"https:\/\/beadvault.au\/products\/indian-glass-bead-chunky-oval-12mm-peacock-with-aventurine-band-pack-of-2","provider":"Bead Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
