Hello I am looking for a smaller bead with a bit more durability. Specifically I need a bead to not split when I pierce it. Ideas?

I'm not sure what your asking? Can you explain what it is you are trying to do?

These seemed quite strong to me. But, not tested with 3 year olds. They weren't big enough for me, so I gave them away.

Depends on what type of bracelets you are wanting to make. The monster Tail loom is mini but to me makes stronger and better designs. I love it. I also purchased a book at Wal-mart called MonsterTail Rubber Band Jewelry Project Book for $5. Also go to youtube and type in Monstertail loom designs and you can learn all kinds of awesome bracelets or necklaces. With the Rainbow loom you cant make longer bracelets with the monstertail you can make it as long as you want. It comes with the mini loom and a rainbow loom hook plus rubberbands. I use it now more than my other looming products. Hope this helps. Keep looming!!! Depends on what type of bracelets you are wanting to make.

These are midi beads, not mini. Hama is the only ones to make mini. Perler (Funfusion) makes normal and biggie beads.

Frankly, carbon can splinter especially if it hits something hard and they are expensive. I have several bows and unles I am hunting I always use aluminum. They are cheaper, easier to repair and never split.

If You Want To Buy 2 It Will Avoid Taking Risks of Breaking Hard Worked Bracelets To Expand Its Size. So its Better To Buy 2, To Have a Spare Mini Loom, Hook, and some spare bands incase some Break.And Avoiding Talking the Risk. Hope this Helped :)

I haven't had an issue with any beads escaping. I assume that only happens if there is a tear or a seam has come undone. I've absolutely no issue with the quality of the construction and use it daily. I would think that anyone who experienced this issue could easily remedy, if need be, with a needle and thread, or return it for another.

I read that the light color is better and the non polished (raw) is better than polished. I bought bracelet from amber by Amanda,she has adult bracelets for good price. My grand daughter ,10 months old,wears a baby necklace for teething. Don't expect amber to take all pain away.

I really love my bracelet. It was a little small for my wrist, but I have bigger wrists so I just added a small loop at the end I had leftover from making jewelry. Otherwise I like how it feels and love how it looks.

You can go to Beadsmith and got replacement tube or you can go to your local hardware store and get tubing of the same size.

This might be overkill, or flat-out awkward, for this specific use. Based on a youtube search for "bead drilling" to see what others use, you'll likely want a light duty rotary tool or bead reamer for harder materials or a pin vise for things like polymer clay. You might consider a jeweler's push drill like this: Jeweler's Small 3-1/2" Push Drill for Micro Bits 0.20mm to 1.0mm

Not an answer , but a question for you. Why do you want to know what BB's would pierce through the skin ? Is this for safety reasons or do you want to do your own piercings with BB's ? BE VERY CAREFULL ! That would be extremely dangerous.

I never had too file mine , it fit just like the stock bead, it's not as big as it looks, I would buy something different next time, I was expecting it too be bigger and more visible,it's helps, but not like it looks it would..

I have! I love the stuff! I have a favorite beaded glasses holder which broke. I removed a couple of beads and glued the thread and beads together over a year ago and I wear it daily!

Yes 20 gauge will be just fine. I use 20 and 24 gauge beading wire for these beads. The lower the number of gauge the thicker the wire. I like to use a fine beading wire for these tiny beads. Heavier glass beads I will use a 24 gauge. I hope that this helps you out.
