What's the Difference? Potomax Metal vs Czech Glass Beads - Better Beaders Episode by PotomacBeads

[@yolandavillegas4353]

The new findings in matching metal colors are a great idea and a very needed one. I have tons of finding that I have purchased from different vendors and say the golden colors never match, Rose golds are hard to find etc.. Thank you, thank you 😊

[@Potomacbeadco]

You're always welcome :)

I’m curious about the holes in these metal beads. Will they be more abrasive on stringing material than glass beads?

[@Potomacbeadco]

The metal beads should be the same on the string!

[@DanyyCalifornia]

Metal superduos would be awesome!

[@Potomacbeadco]

That's a great idea!

How do you clean bead woven pieces. Metal, glass and crystal beads shine in my strung pieces when cleaned in my tumbler. When I string, I can safely clean my pieces in my tumbler.

You're so welcome!

So the color won't rub off the metal? Thanks.

[@Potomacbeadco]

nope!

I am looking for some help with metal findings tarnishing, do you carry any metal beads, spacers and clasps that don’t tarnish? Or would perma finish work on these items?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hello! Any sterling silver or stainless steal item should not tarnish. The Permalac that we offer should be able to seal and keep your beads safe as well!

I would love to see quarter and half tila metal beads as well as gem duos, crescent duos, super duos and daggers. Thanks!

[@Jeni10]

Tilas are made in Japan by Miyuki.

[@Potomacbeadco]

That would be cool!

I love your information and company. I have been so busy working on my beading studio. I do have one question?! Can I send pictures to your contact information? I am no longer on Facebook.

So are these plated metal or will there be GF/SS versions?

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

Are these lead-free?

[@Potomacbeadco]

yes!

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

@@Potomacbeadco Thank you the reason I ask is a certain country is well known to be lax about the lead content there

[@loycehake7151]

Seed beads?

I hope that you are going to be making ovals in metal.
