Monsterslayer / Beadalon question
I'm hovering, hovering, hovering over the monsterslayer.com catalogue,
but I have a question... They have "clear" beadalon thread (of various stiffnesses). Like, steel is *opaque*, so how can it be "clear"? Do they mean "clear plastic coating", so you end up with a silvery thread? I'm confused... I want to try some beadalon after reading the glowing reports here. I've only used (Oz-made) tigertail before. I have some really lovely jade chips and I want to use something a little more "classy" to string them on. Also, thumbs up for monsterslayer? I'm considering an order (to Australia). I'd love to hear feedback from others outside the US w.r.t service & cost. |

Yes, that's it exactly. Personally, I much prefer SoftFlex over Beadalon. Beadalon might not kink like the old Tigertail, but it *does* kink - especially when you are finishing a piece off. Monsterslayer (550 Silver) is a GREAT source for silver wire and lots of other things. I have done business with them many times and can definitely recommend them!

I agree with this. And clear just means you can see through to the wire.
Unfortunately, they don't have clear that you can see all the way through - at least not with covered wire. Soft Flex is the best in my opinion. -- Kandice Seeber Air & Earth Designs http://www.lampwork.net Do they mean "clear plastic coating", so you end up with a silvery thread? Yes, that's it exactly.

I would say thumbs up to Monsterslayer, thumbs down to Beadalon. JMHO.

I've only used (Oz-made) tigertail before. I've used Beadalon, and had it kink on me. SoftFlex and SoftTouch are the way to go, far superior IMO. But then again, I like and use Spiderwire for stringing too. Also, thumbs up for monsterslayer? I'm considering an order (to Australia). I'd love to hear feedback from others outside the US w.r.t service & cost. I'd like to know as well. I just placed an order with them tonight (it hasn't been processed yet). Valerie |
