Default Help with threading a Mala God-bead

Hello,

I am trying to make a Mala, but am unable to finish the loop back through
the 3 hole god-bead.

The god-bead has 3 holes with 90 degree bends like a T...the idea is to
start in through the center hole going out through one of the side holes,
then you add your other beads and finish the loop through the OTHER side
hole and back out through the center hole again nice and neat.

I get the first side done and add the beads to the loop, but I cannot get
the thread back through the second and middle holes - the thread will just
not make the bend.

Things I have tried:
1. Using thinner thread
2. Making the side holes in the bead larger, and rounding the 90 degree
bends
(This helped with the first part)
3. Pushing the thread through using a fine wire
4. Using super glue to glue the thread to the first side of the thread to
pull it through

At this point I am truly stuck and stumped!

If anyone has any tips, I would sure like to hear them!

Thanks, David
