Hi Steph!
The real trick is to get them as perfect as possible before baking. Do you
use rubber/latex gloves or something?
I hate sanding, and just plain wont sand beads. Its part of why I dont make
them often. Focals, maybe, but I always seem to miss a dent or goober.
Arrghh.. thats why those ornament balls are more my forte. They are easier
to handle after baking.
I dont know about wax. Seems to me pure wax would work tho. Have you
considered tumbling your beads?

Do you know, can you use a wax like bee's wax and buff that. I am thinking

wax
because it will fill any little unwanted dings but will buff to an even

shine.
I guess "Johnsons Paste Wax" is out because it has other stuff in it.

Solvents
I think... Future really shows off any scratches or dings because it

clings so
perfect to the piece. I have been trying Future then buffing it and giving

it
another coat or two with mixed success.
